Yeah, lirc should be enabled by default.

The right behavior here is to enable the protocol as soon as the
new keycode table is written by userspace.

Except for LIRC and the protocol of the current table enabled is
not a good idea because:

1) It misread the code from some other IR;
2) It will be just spending power without need, running
several tasks (one for each IR type) with no reason, as the
keytable won't match the codes for other IRs (and if it is
currently matching, then this is a bad behavior).

Actually, most drivers are for hardware decoders.
