Dogers, I get the same error now.  I just upgraded. Now my remote is
broken.  None of the workarounds on this page work anymore, at least not
on x64.

[ 5674.248879] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver
[ 5674.248889] lirc_wb677: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver

Forget about trying to install the module directly from the .deb.  At
least with the source version you get a meaningful error.

I grepped the source of wb677 for "lock" and there are like 30 lines
there, and I'm not sure which of them I'd change to fifo_lock.  But
shouldn't lirc not be changing its kernel symbols randomly?  That's kind
of a major thing, isn't it?  Can't rebuild lirc modules myself because
of the aforementioned pgp error.  I don't even have close to an idea why
I need to do anything with pgp or gpg to build modules on my own
machine.  That's very stupid too.

After applying the lirc_dev-2.6.33.patch, the 3d party driver for the Nuvoton 677x is no longer loadable. It compiles fine, but complains about incorrect version upon modprobe:

[ 5870.433827] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
[ 5870.436038] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver
[ 5870.436038] lirc_wb677: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver

After removing the above mentioned patch to lirc, both compilation and modprobe works fine:
[ 7700.230465] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
[ 7700.234243] lirc_wb677 w677hga: chip id high: 0xff expect:0xb4
