/dev/lirc0 no longer gets created in recent fedora kernels
This applies to 4.3.3-300 through 4.5.0-0.rc0.git7.1 from rawhide. At least 4.5.0-0.rc0.git7.1 fixes the ivtv inputs problem.
I am using a cx18 as an ir-blaster. Both lirc_dev and lirc_zilog get loaded but the device is unavailable.
This does work in 4.2.8 except the ivtv inputs part but that's a 3 hour workaround.
