Request: Enable building of mod lirc-serial

[BernhardRode]

Up to around christmas module lirc-serial was inlcuded in every nightly build of Openelec-eden and I was perfectly fine with the Workaround we found in the Forum (see the link below).

I tried to find the setting in the sources, but without succes...

Would it be possible to reenable the module lirc_serial for future builds?

I also found this bug on the fedora wiki:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784398

with the fix:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=d5f748edcbaf363a40a59a2069a4acbc37422f20

Could this help to reenable lirc_serial?

After a clean build, I changed to my "build./linux" directory and did a "make menuconfig"

And i found the serial driver under -> Device drivers -> Staging drivers -> Media staging drivers -> Homebrew Serial driver

Then I had to Switch Device drivers -> Character devices -> Serial drivers -> 8250/... from * to M

--- This is a diff off thebuild.OpenELEC-ION.x86_64-devel/linux-3.2.1/.config file before and after make menuconfig ---

then i ran a "make clean && make" in "build.OpenELEC-ION.x86_64-devel/linux-3.2.1"

Now I'm building new SYSTEM and KERNEL files to try it...
