I would be amazed if the IRDA code still works. It's not been tested properly for years and it never followed the tty rules properly in the first place - so this looks good, although moving IRDA into staging and /dev/null would IMHO be far better.
IRDA is dead, and IR remotes are handled via completely different code.
