When opening or closing a lirc character device, the framework provides to the user the possibility to keep track of opening or closing of the device by calling two functions: - set_use_inc() when opening the device - set_use_dec() when closing the device if those are not set by the lirc user, the system segfaults. Check the pointer value before calling the above functions.
