The serial driver will detect the winbond cir device as a serial port, since it looks exactly like a serial port unless you know what it is from the PNP ID. Alan Cox pointed out[1] that the pnp serial probe should be done before the legacy probe and we should keep track of any IR ports during the pnp scan. This is an implementation of that idea. Diffed against tty-next.
