of the backend irframe device with autoconf. This might fail or not,
depending on whether another frontend was configured. It helps if
irframetty is the only frontend.
This is a workaround for some inconsistencies in the interaction of
pseudo-devices with the autoconf framework. A fix will require changes
to config(8) which needs more consideration and testing.
Should fix a crash reported by Dieter Baron per PM.
