The only place we actually *care* about the retval from a RUN_DECODER() call is in __ir_input_register(), and currently, its looking for retval < 0, which is currently never possible. When we're running the decoders, either they fail and return -EINVAL or they succeed and return 0, and in the register case, we get either a negative error (ex: -ENOMEM from rc6) or 0, so with the above, _sumrc will *always* be 0 in the two cases I'm looking at. The third place where RUN_DECODER gets called (decoder unregister) doesn't care about the retval either. New patch below, including updated comments about the macro.
