[mythtv-users] lirc_serial move to serial_ir nightmare in kernel 4.12

[David Krainess]

I've used lirc_serial in the past.  I've spent countless hours on it over the last 15 years, and yes, there is some satisfaction when you finally see it work, after a patching a kernel, dealing with changed implementations (Jarod)...etc over those years.  I suspect lirc_serial is not really maintained, serial ports are dying.  
I've since moved on to Flirc (a year ago), though it's not 100% perfect, I'm much happier and have no more concerns upgrading MythTV/Linux.
Not saying it's for you, but a little over $20 for it can save a lot of time.

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.
