I just tried this because I can't get the lirc module to see my 
available serial port.  Everything was working fine until I upgraded to 
2.6.38.  I also use the v4l git (media_build).   I get this error:
[   24.867152] lirc_serial: disagrees about version of symbol 
lirc_register_driver
[   24.867159] lirc_serial: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver (err -22)
[   24.873145] lirc_serial: disagrees about version of symbol 
lirc_register_driver

If the driver in v4l it consistently says my serial port is busy and run 
setserial - and yes, I run setserial to diable the uart.

Any suggestions?
