That's likely my fault: I was waiting for Jarod's review on this patch,
with didn't happen, likely because he is too busy with some other stuff.
Both winbond and iguanair drivers went after David's patch.

Feel free to send me a patch fixing it there.

Seems fine on my eyes. It may avoid code duplication if you pass the fd 
flags to the lirc call, and add a code there that will wait for complete, 
if the device was not opened in block mode.
