Actually rc devices that produce scancodes (rather than raw IR) do have not have an associated lirc device so no LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE there. The exception to this is the lirc_sasem and lirc_zilog drivers in staging; those two are the only drivers that use LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE at all. The lirc_sasem driver should be ported to rc-core, but I've never been able to find the hardware for it. When it is ported it won't need LIRCCODE any more. The lirc_zilog driver is just for sending and also should be ported to rc-core. The hardware supports sending raw IR, I just do not know how so I can't port it.
