The idea was to remove the empty change_protocol function that had
been added in the breaking commit.
IMHO, it would be better to not have functions that don't do anything.
Actually, another problem with that empty function is that if the
driver first sets up a "real" change_protocol function and related
data, and then calls rc_register_device, the driver defined
change_protocol function would be overwritten.

But otherwise yes, your suggestion could work, with the addition that
we still need to update enabled_protocols (and not init
enabled_protocols anymore in ir_raw_event_register() ).
+ dev->enabled_protocols = (rc_type | RC_BIT_LIRC);

Please let me know your preferences on which you prefer, and, if
needed, I'll make a new patch version.
