lirc_serial, rite? If I understand things correctly, the "Linux media" 
folks has been cleaning up (or "cleaning up", if you so prefer) the API, 
leaving the serial driver inoperational. It is everything but a modern 
solution worthy of usage in 2017 anyhow. Here 
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=187222 is a 
related thread.

I am not 100% sure if that it is exactly the reason that your driver 
broke, but in any case, its days are numbered.

This should be debuggable (possibly even usable?) without Lirc, using 
ir-keytable.
