Kernel config option missing for lirc protocol might not be related to 
issue, syslog shows:
Apr 21 14:14:09 beebox lircd-0.11.0-devel[3075]: Notice: 'lirc' written 
to protocols file /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols
Apr 21 14:14:09 beebox lircd-0.11.0-devel[3075]: Info: Initial device: 
/dev/lirc0
Apr 21 14:14:09 beebox lircd-0.11.0-devel[3075]: Info: [lirc] protocol 
is enabled

Dmesg and logs seem to be fine in both cases, with 4.16 kernel remote 
just is not working.

mode2 --driver default --device /dev/lirc0
mode2 --driver devinput --device /dev/lirc0
cat /dev/lirc0
cat /dev/input/event11
irw

These commands show no output when using remote with kernel 4.16 and 
lirc 0.10 or latest from git.
