First of all, the documentation says you can use "dmesg |grep lirc_dev" to find your lirc devices and you've just replaced lirc_dev with lirc. https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/uapi/rc/lirc-dev-intro.html It's useful having the driver name in the message. For example, I have two rc devices connected usually: [sean@bigcore ~]$ dmesg | grep lirc_dev [ 5.938284] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 239 [ 5.945324] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (winbond-cir) registered at minor = 0 [ 5111.830118] rc rc1: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 1 With the driver name I know which one is which. Maybe lirc_driver.name should be a "const char*" so no strcpy is needed (the ir-lirc-codec does not seem necessary).
