+Subject: Partly revert "[media] rc-core: allow calling rc_open with device not initialized"
+
+This partly reverts commit 078600f514a12fd763ac84c86af68ef5b5267563.
+
+Due to the relocation of input_register_device() call, holding down a
+button on an IR remote no longer resulted in repeated key down events.
+
+See: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg103384.html
