[Saucy][SRU][PATCH 0/1] (upstream) HID: appleir: force input to be set

[Luis Henriques]

BugLink: http://launchpad.net/bugs/1244505

SRU Justification:

There is a bug in Ubuntu Saucy that prevents the usage of the IR remote
with the appleir device driver (bug reporter was using a Mac Mini).  It
causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference on the first button press on the
remote.

Impact:

The system locks up on the first button press on the remote, and prints an
Oops message.

Fix:

This issue has been reported upstream[1] and a fix is already queued for
mainline in Jiri Kosina HID git tree [2] with SHA1:

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/29/355
[2] git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git

Testcase:

As described in the bug report, simply using pressing the button on the
remote reproduces the bug.
