The FIFO is used for ir_raw_event records, however for some historic
reason the FIFO is used on a per byte basis. IMHO this adds unneeded
complexity. Therefore set up the FIFO for ir_raw_event records.
This also allows to define the FIFO statically as part of
ir_raw_event_ctrl instead of having to allocate the FIFO dynamically.
In addition:
- When writing into the FIFO and it's full return ENOSPC instead of
ENOMEM thus making it easier to tell between "FIFO full" and
"Dynamic memory allocation failed" when the error is propagated to
a higher level.
Also add an error message.
- When reading from the FIFO check whether it's empty.
This is not strictly needed here but kfifo_out is annotated
"must check" anyway.
Successfully tested it with the nuvoton-cir driver.
