No. It is quite conceivable that lircd and a particular driver have 
different versions and even release managements. May even come from 
different sources. The API version must be compatible though.

A few years ago, Alec synced all the driver (better: "plugin") versions 
with the then-current Lirc version. IMHO, this was possibly not a good 
decision.

Greetz,
