Bug#458516: lirc-modules-source: cannot build lirc_dev on 2.6.23-1

[Richard Antony Burton]

Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.8.0-13
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

This is probably a duplicate of 457858, but since there are no real details
given I don't want to hijack it. Please merge mine with it if you want to.

lirc_dev does not compile, at least on 2.6.23-1, and probably earlier kernel
versions (I've been running on a newer ubuntu package for a while to get support
for my xbox remote, I'll give your experimental package a go having now spotted
it).

I have attached a patch to fix the problem. It may also be needed on your
0.8.2 package (it is on the ubuntu one of the same version).

Regards, Richard.
