So what does LIRC_GET_LENGTH do? If you want to add an ioctl, it
need justification, documenting in 
Documentatoin/DocBook/media/v4l/lirc_device_interface.xml and there
should be at least one driver using it.

If you want to write a new driver which does IR transmit, it's best
to use the rc-core interface like the existing drivers and do 
not use the lirc interface. Most of the other drivers which implement
IR transmit use rc-core too.
