Hi I think that's the problem regards the GPIO's enable procedure.
I am using BCM GPIO 23 (J8 pin 16 on rpi3 rev B), I have added in config.txt the following line:

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=23,gpio_out_pin=22,gpio_in_pull=up

I have solved the problem using a python script:
#!/usr/bin/python2

import RPi.GPIO as gpio
gpio.setmode(gpio.BCM)
gpio.setup(23, gpio.IN, pull_up_down=gpio.PUD_UP)
gpio.cleanup()
exit()

After that command mode2 command works but irw not receive nothing.
I suppose now the problem is lircd.conf (I use Acer RC804V-B model).
