Bug Description

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
       a minimally backported form of that patch. The following upstream
       stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel:

       upstream stable patchset 2021-03-10

                Ported from the following upstream stable releases:
                        v5.4.94, v5.10.12,
                        v5.4.95, v5.10.13

I think commit c592cca3691db causes MCE IR remotes to spuriously repeat keys.

A few users on the mythtv-users list have been experiencing problems after
upgrading to 5.8.0-49 and later.

I reverted the changes in the following files:

    * drivers/media/rc/ir-mce_kbd-decoder.c
    * drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c b/drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c

I forgot to revert the changes in:

    * drivers/media/rc/serial_ir.c

But the spurious repeat problem went away.

I'm new to bug reporting. Should I open a new bug or is it enough to note the problem here?
