In most cases, it does comply with the code. You are just required to slow down the transmission of fire and smoke from the garage to the attic. So, as long as the drywall is the same thickness as the garage ceiling drywall, it should meet the code. But, some people will prop open the drywall with a 2x4, which defeats the purpose of creating a fire and smoke barrier.
