As a further update to this...
I installed the 3.19 kernel from Ubuntu 15.04 as i was having a weird video issue, and there was some suggestion that the newer kernel would fix the bug.
I dont know if it has fixed it yet, however yet again the remote broke with the kernel upgrade.
This time, following the instructions above failed to work, as lirc_dev failed to compile against the 3.19 kernel sources.
After some searching i found some other unrelated software package producing the same error against the 3.19 kernel, and followed the fix:
Replace every mention of ‘f_dentry’ with ‘f_path.dentry’ inside the lirc_dev.c file.
Did that and it compiled up fine, then copied it into the rc folder as explained above and its now working on 3.19 just nicely
