lirc or drivers not working with kernel 4.12

Hi.

I updated two Debian testing boxes to the latest stable kernel 4.12
today. One box uses the homebrew serial ir driver, the other uses
mceusb. Both use the lirc interface driver with IR to lirc bridge
enabled. Both boxes are using lircd compiled from git - the homebrew
serial ir using lirc 0.10.0-rc3, mceusb using lirc
0.9.5-devel.git+8c87a28.

Everything seems to initialize and connect fine but the remote doesn't
work. When tested with irw, nothing happens. I can boot into kernel
4.11.8 and everything works fine. I'm not sure if something is broken
in 4.12, or if maybe lirc needs to be updated to changes in 4.12, or
some other possibility. I'm not sure where to start for debugging this
or if anyone has any knowledge of why this is happening with kernel
4.12?

Thanks,
Derek
