Just a quick update on this bug..  David Härdeman managed to track
down the offending commit (listed below) to ir-lirc-codec.c. I've
confirmed that reversing it fixes the problem. I'm not sure what the
final fix will be but anyone experiencing this problem can revert the
following and things should work again:

commit e8f4818895b3d7f34b3e5852bce77b3257a27ecc

    [media] lirc: advertise LIRC_CAN_GET_REC_RESOLUTION and improve

    This feature was never set. The ioctl should fail if no resolution
    is set.
