Not quite. There's still lirc_dev and lirc_i2c that have been merged in the kernel as well. The ir-core parts are for drivers that have been ported, which does not include lirc_i2c.

I suspect the problem is lirc_i2c trying to be bound to a zilog chip, which is no longer possible (i.e., try lirc_zilog).
