Yeah, the IrToy is now "natively supported in Linux", and shows up as 
/dev/lirc*. The serial driver cdc-acm.c explicitly blacklist the device 
(hardcoded!), removing possibilites to use the serial port to 
communicate with the device. I wrote this 
https://github.com/bengtmartensson/HarcHardware/discussions/25 , 
containing some more links.

Personally, I am not happy at all with this change. Does anyone know of 
a way to get the serial communication to work again, except for 
compiling a private version of the serial driver?

Greetz,
