I've just switched from raspbian to LibreElec 8.1.2 for my Raspberry Pi v2 devices, and am having trouble with my generic MCE remotes. They've always worked out of the box with just about everything else, but it appears that the driver isn't loading for the usb-connected IR receiver.
I see the device show up in dmesg when I plug it in, and it shows up in lsusb, but if I stop kodi and eventlircd and run ir-keytable, I get the error "/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory".
These errors show up in dmesg, however:
[ 383.054845] usb 1-1.5: new low-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg
[ 383.182587] usb 1-1.5: New USB device found, idVendor=0471, idProduct=20cc

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
