Which device? It was about a remote controller, not the receiver. The IR
receivers are frequently coupled with a DVB etc. receiver. There is
absolutely no problem supporting almost any remote if the hardware is
compatible with the receiver (i.e. IR to IR, the carrier frequency is
not 36 vs 56 kHz, the receiver supports the protocol etc).
I don't say we need to support in-kernel decoding for arbitrary
protocols.

Very hypotetical, indeed :-)
Most (all?) home-made receivers don't need polling, they use IRQs
instead ("the" home-made receiver is based on serial port and uses IRQ).
They are hardly the "obscure hardware" that nobody has.
The "more advanced" receivers using shift registers may use polling.

Agreed, I think nobody argues we should support such things in the
kernel.
Once again: how about agreement about the LIRC interface
(kernel-userspace) and merging the actual LIRC code first? In-kernel
decoding can wait a bit, it doesn't change any kernel-user interface.
