I agree with you. I just thought that the only thing a decoder should care
is its decoding logic, but not including decoder management. My idaea is:
1) use enabled_protocols to select decoders in ir_raw.c, but not
placed in decoders to do the judgement.
2) remove allowed_protocols or just use it to set the default
decoder (also should rename allowed_protocols to default_protocol).

I also have a question:
Is there a requirement that one more decoders are enabled for a
IR device at the same time?
And if that will lead to a issue that each decoder may decode a
same pulse sequence to different evnets since their protocol is
different?
