Definitely NOT fixed in 4.12.6. Really screwed. I was sure that was
it. The fact that mode2 works seems to point decoding issues I read
about....but no dice.

I really wish someone could clarify that LIRC mailing list thread. I
can't make any sense out of what if anything was fixed there or when,
or if the serial stuff even works, especially based on that post from
Bengt.
