I don't think there is anything wrong with the patch, however here the driver does rc_unregister_device() *after* disabling it. Userspace can still hold a file descriptor open, and call e.g. LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT ioctl, which causes various writes the sunxi-cir registers. The order should be reversed. Sean
