Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
linux-image-4.4.0-72-generic

I'm using custom IR receiver with CIR header in my ASRock MoBo.
This one IR receiver serves 3 devices - HTPC, TV and amplifier.

Everything was ok, but after kernel change from 3.13 to 4.4 my pilot stopped to work with HTPC.
mode2 app shows, that IR header is receiving something, but there is something wrong.

Example pulse-pause timings for 3.13 kernel are:
space 2949
pulse 39
space 1157
pulse 39
space 1159
pulse 39
Example pulse-pause timings for 4.4 kernel are:
space 16777176
pulse 1
space 16777176
pulse 1
space 16777176
pulse 1

for this same button.

Maybe I'm not only one which wants still to use lirc_sir
Please, help.

For the sake of order, this bug should be re-assigned to the kernel package instead of the user-space lirc package.
