Indeed transmit-only devices don't need an input buffer, which is
just a waste of memory. However can't lirc_register_driver() figure
out from the features if the driver is capable of receiving, i.e.

int lirc_register_driver(struct lirc_driver *d)
{
int err, minor;

minor = lirc_allocate_driver(d);
if (minor < 0)
return minor;

if (d->features & LIRC_CAN_REC_MODE2) {
err = lirc_allocate_buffer(irctls[minor]);
if (err)
lirc_unregister_driver(minor);
}

return err ? err : minor;
}
