media: mtk-cir: remove superfluous ir_raw_event_reset()
This IR receiver has two limitations: 1) Any IR pulse or space longer than 12ms will be truncated to 12ms 2) Any pulses/spaces after the first 68 are lost ir_raw_event_reset() won't help here. If the IR cannot be decoded, any decoder should reset itself, and if it does not, this is a bug in the decoder.

- * Reset decoder state machine explicitly is required

- * could record is not safely long. e.g 12ms if rx resolution
- * is 46us by default. There is still the risk to satisfying
- * every decoder to reset themselves through long enough
- * trailing spaces and 2) the IRQ handler guarantees that
- * start of IR message is always contained in and starting
- * from register mtk_chkdata_reg(ir, i).
+ * Each pulse and space is encoded as a single byte, each byte
+ * alternating between pulse and space. If a pulse or space is longer
+ * than can be encoded in a single byte, it is encoded as the maximum
+ * value 0xff.
+ *
+ * If a space is longer than ok_count (about 23ms), the value is
+ * encoded as zero, and all following bytes are zero. Any IR that
+ * follows will be presented in the next interrupt.
+ *
+ * If there are more than 68 (=MTK_CHKDATA_SZ * 4) pulses and spaces,
+ * then the only the first 68 will be presented; the rest is lost.
