Again no answer and another kernel release, but no fixes.


I just need to only send some codes.
I'm using (gentoo) lirc-0.9.0-rc6, which works fine up to kernel-4.9.2 .

In kernel-4.10-rc1/2/3 there are two bugs.

 1) With the same setup - only the kernel has changed from 4.9 to 4.10 -
    irsend does not work anymore. I get these logs:

 2) lirc-0.9.0 compiled with '--with-transmitter' delivers no transmitter in lirc_serial.ko
