This driver didn't make the transition where all lirc kernel modules
were moved from lirc to the kernel. It has been dropped from  upstream.

These days the required changes are probably bigger, the internal kernel
interfaces have evolved.

Possible actions includes IMHO to close this as a wontfix or re-assign
it to the kernel, since  it's about a kernel driver. The lirc package is
no longer involved in this bug.

Title:
  lirc_wpc8769l is not being built due to a compile error

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A compile error is preventing the lirc_wpc8769.ko kernel module from
  being built in ubuntu 12.04. This hardware is necessary to support
  WEC1020 Winbond CIR Transceiver hardware.

  Basically - the methods generic_find_next_le_bit and
  generic_find_next_zero_le_bit have been deprecated.

  All instances of generic_find_next_le_bit  need to be replaced by
  find_next_bit_le,

  and all instances of generic_find_next_zero_le_bit need to be replaced
  by find_next_zero_bit_le.

  Once this is corrected the kernel module will build correctly and
  hardware using this module will become usable again.
