[Bug 1012165] Re: lirc_wpc8769l is not being built due to a compile error
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.
