Current git tree works for receiving IR signals via lirc_serial (tested by 
Janne) and via lirc_mceusb2 (tested by me). Something is still slightly 
haywire with lirc_i2c though. It registers fine, but IR signals simply aren't 
making it to lircd. Probably unrelated to the dynamic device num changes, 
looking into it.
