Please consider pushing this[1] patch to 3.5 and -stable (at least 3.0+
is affected, most likely everything >= 2.6.37[2]). I can confirm
bug - and this patch fixing it on 3.4.4:
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
smsc_superio_flat(): fir: 0x230, sir: 0x2f8, dma: 03, irq: 3, mode: 0x0e
smsc_ircc_present: can't get sir_base of 0x2f8
[…]
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 251
lirc_sir: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
lirc_register_driver: dev pointer not filled in!
lirc_sir: init_chrdev() failed.
After applying this patch lirc_sir loads find and is usable with
irrecord and lirc.
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
smsc_superio_flat(): fir: 0x230, sir: 0x2f8, dma: 03, irq: 3, mode: 0x0e
smsc_ircc_present: can't get sir_base of 0x2f8
[…]
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 251
lirc_sir: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
platform lirc_dev.0: lirc_dev: driver lirc_sir registered at minor = 0
lirc_sir: I/O port 0x02f8, IRQ 3.
lirc_sir: Installed
Without this patch lirc_sir can't even get loaded, the alternative
would be to mark it as BROKEN for <<3.6.
