Re: lirc_atiusb (X10 remote) Kernel driver

[Michael M. <mi...@ma...>]

Got a little further; with the attached patch I was at least able to
compile lirc_atiusb.ko using:
Ubuntu xenial lirc source-package (lircd 0.9.0) Kernel 4.4.0-53-generic

Still asking myself: how does this fit into recent lirc, I somewhat
dislike the idea to operate with old versions and strange patches before
understanding where lirc_atiusb should really be and moving onto the
target-plattform LEDE where things get nastier with cross-compiling..
