[mythtv-users] Fix lirc devices to desired names

[Josu Lazkano]

Hello all,

I have two IR device in my frontend, and integrated CIR and USB MCE:

$ dmesg | grep lirc
[    3.710645] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 251
[    3.721774] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (nuvoton-cir)
registered at minor = 0
[    3.721921] rc rc1: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb)
registered at minor = 1

So there are 2 lirc devices:

# ls -l /dev/lirc*
crw-rw---T 1 root video 250, 0 Aug 31 10:22 /dev/lirc0
crw-rw---T 1 root video 250, 1 Aug 31 12:22 /dev/lirc1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      21 Aug 31 12:22 /dev/lircd -> ../var/run/lirc/lircd

Sometimes they switch the numbesr (0 and 1), so I can not know wich
device is each.

I can not disable the CIR device because it is in the board, so I want
to fix the names of the devices to use them, something like this:

/dev/lirc0 -> /dev/lirc_cir
/dev/lirc1 -> /dev/lirc_mce

Is this possible?

Thanks and best regards.
