Enabling LIRC_STAGING is not enough, flag IR_MCEUSB is also missing.

With these 2 kernel flags enabled, the lirc package install succeeds.

However, there is still an outstanding issue reported on pandaboard list
when testing:

But, I am unable to record remote key strokes using "irw" (which is in-
built command of LIRC).
And also, "/dev/lirc0" is not there which is require for "/etc/lirc/
hardware.conf".

On my Desktop (X86), I am able to record remote key strokes in
Ubuntu-11.10 with LIRC.
There I am able to see "/dev/lirc0" too.

Title:
  missing support for some LIRC devices

Status in “linux-ti-omap4” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The following issue was reported on the Pandaboard mailing list by Raju in the "LIRC installation is failed on both Ubuntu-11.10 and Linaro-Ubuntu" topic:
  <<< Start of quote ---
  On my PanadaBoard, RevA2. I am trying to enable USB based Remote 
  (MCE). 
  While installing LIRC, I am getting following errors. 

  /lib/module/3.1.0-1282-omap4/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc: not found 
  /lib/module/3.1.0-1282-omap4/kernel/drivers/media/rc: not found 

  I tried this on both Ubuntu-11.10 and Linaro-Ubuntu-12.01. 
  Issue is same on both.

  After quick verification, it appears the LIRC_STAGING kernel flag (and
  it's dependents) is disable in the ti-omap4 defconfig, while it's
  enabled for other configurations (see
  debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu).

  The kernel version reported above is from a kernel in the TI public
  ppa, but the LIRC kernel configuration is aligned with the official
  Ubuntu one, so the same problem shall appear on boths.

  I'm not sure about the drivers/media/rc error though...
