WORK IN PROGRESS opening for discussion, testing, and resolving edge cases
Currently in PX4 main for boards that do RC decoding FMU side (ie no px4io) we have a single monolithic RC driver (drivers/rc_input) that includes all protocols and scans input latching once it has a successful decode. Historically this has been mildly convenient for users because typically things have "just worked", but I am now of the opinion that we'd be much better off with explicit configuration and keeping things separate.
