wpc8769l module not included in build list

I've got the module compiled by downloading the source code from the sourceforge lirc page. It compiled and inserted successfully and I was able to see data coming from the /dev/lirc0 device with mode2.

I purged the lirc-modules-source package, used dpkg with the --unpack switch to unpack the .deb file, and edit the following files to add in the lirc_wpc8769l module for compilation by dkms:
/usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/dkms.conf
/usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/lirc-modules-source.conf

Find patches for the above changes attached.

This successfully creates the lirc_wpc8769l.ko file, but it does not successfully load via modprobe or insmod:

Hmm, sorry, first time posting a patch, here's the other patch, also I forgot that I patched the /usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/Makefile as well, please find it following.

Patch for /usr/lib/lirc-0.8.6/Makefile

When the above patches were applied to an Acer laptop running the x86_64 architecture, the module compiled successfully. When applied to an Acer laptop running the i686 architecture, the module did not compile successfully.

This bug was fixed in the package lirc - 0.8.6-0ubuntu4
