It's quite weird to see a "short" space followed by a max space followed
by a "short" space (0xdc 0xff 0xde). Almost like there's one or more
(pulse) bytes missing in between.

I've tested long pulses/spaces before and they've worked as expected (e.g.
"max", "max", "short" events....the leading 0x7f 0x7f 0x08 sequence in your
log is a good example).

Now, there is a minor bug in the RLE decoding in that the duration should
have 1 added to it (meaning that 0x00 or 0x80 are valid values).

Just to make sure something like that isn't happening, could you correct
the line in wbcir_irq_rx() which currently reads:

rawir.duration = US_TO_NS((irdata & 0x7F) * 10);

so that it reads

rawir.duration = US_TO_NS(((irdata & 0x7F) + 1) * 10);

However, I'm guessing you inserted the extra debug printk inside
wbcir_irq_rx() so any 0x00 or 0x80 bytes would have been printed?

Another possibility is that the printk in the interrupt handler causes
overhead...could you do a debug run without the printk in the interrupt
handler?

Also, could you provide me with the full versions of both logs? (i.e. all
the way to idle....it might help spot a missed pulse/space)

Thanks,
David
