There are two commits which do similar things. In the v4l-dvb tree we have
5cd6522 ("[media] staging: lirc: use octal instead of symbolic permission"
and in the staging tree there is 
87ddb91067b9 ("Staging: media: lirc - style fix")

Is it possible to drop the latter from the staging tree? That would resolve
the issue.

Thanks
