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.
