Arch Linux

Description:
In kernel version 4.4.13-1-lts (current at the time of this writing) my IR receiver has stopped working. I see no output from my remote when using ir-keytable -v, all configurations look right and there are no output in dmesg or ir-keytable. However it works with kernel version 4.5.4-1 and 4.6.

My computer and the IR receiver works again when using the 4.5.4-1 kernel.
