no, it looks at an lircX device, and create /dev/mceremote that is a link.

lirc0 is created automatically by the kernel, like any other lirc
device. All I wanted was to have a constant device name that wouldn't
change between /dev/lirc0 , /dev/lirc1 etc...

And proof is:
$ ls -l /dev | grep lirc
crw-------   1 root root    248,   0 Aug 25 18:41 lirc0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root          19 Aug 25 18:41 lircd -> /var/run/lirc/lircd
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root           5 Aug 25 18:41 mceremote -> lirc0

I've already posted the udevadm to /dev/lirc0

but we're not here to argue about udev rules... it's not at play here
