I think it's odd that you got "could not reset tty" when using LIRC gpio 
driver. I searched the LIRC cvs source code for the string and found it 
only in serial hardware drivers, not in any kernel driver:
./daemons/hw_slinke.c
./daemons/hw_pixelview.c
./daemons/hw_logitech.c
./daemons/hw_bte.c
./daemons/hw_uirt2.c
./daemons/hw_mp3anywhere.c
./daemons/hw_creative.c
./daemons/hw_uirt2_raw.c
./daemons/hw_pinsys.c

Maybe you are not using the correct driver?
