Many thanks for the helpful answer, myokaski!
I trained my MX3 remote to use the KEY_POWER code from rc6_mce. Now I can wake the Orange Pi PC up successfully.
Hopefully it would be easier to change CONFIG_CIR_WAKE_CODE in the future, as then one can be much more flexible with the choice of remote control.
Sorry for bumping up such an old thread.
I remember that about 5 years ago, waking up by IR remote control worked on Orange Pi PC running OpenELEC.
jernej, is it possible to achieve this nowadays with LibreELEC?
Many thanks @myokask, the latest nightly versions for both LE 12 and 13 seem to work properly so far! 
myokaski, thank you for sharing your experience, and sorry for the late response!
First, the issue is still there for the Orange Pi PC with the latest stable image (LibreELEC-H3.arm-12.0.1-orangepi-pc.img.gz).
I managed to flash the image for plus2e (LibreELEC-H3.arm-12.0.1-orangepi-plus2e.img.gz) and now the Orange Pi PC does boot successfully.
Nevertheless, Ethernet is not working, but I suppose this is to be expected due to the different SBC model. This is the relevant log entry:
[ 1.567211] dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: Error: Failed to register MDIO bus for child /soc/ethernet@1c30000/mdio-mux/mdio@2
myokaski, would you please kindly share the steps you took for building a new working image for the Orange Pi PC?
jernej, how can the fix mentioned here be applied to the builds regarding Orange Pi PC?
Thanks!
jernej, is there any further information which would be useful for debugging this issue?
I confirm that with any of the following images, the Orange Pi PC does NOT boot:
1. current stable image LibreELEC-H3.arm-12.0.0-orangepi-pc.img.gz
2. current nightly for 12.0 LibreELEC-H3.arm-12.0-nightly-20240605-61123a8-orangepi-pc.img.gz
3. current nightly for 13.0 LibreELEC-H3.arm-13.0-nightly-20240606-58f0779-orangepi-pc.img.gz
