It starts up at boot:
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
lirc_i2c: chip 0x10020 found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR)
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 10

I was able to fix my problem but I can't tell you what caused it.
Using yum I removed everything related to lirc

Then I reinstalled the same components and all the mythtv-related
dependencies.
I checked the /dev folder immediately after reinstalling all components and
I found that
/dev/lircd was missing.
However, it reappear as soon as I restarted lircd. Moreover, I started to
get a response using irw.
Obviously something somewhere was not configured properly.
