Well, as I said above, reverting the changes that introduced
[suspend|resume]_device_irqs() is not an option, becuase it was the only sane
way to achieve the goal they were added for.  So, we need to fix the wake-up
problem on your platform with the assumption that
[suspend|resume]_device_irqs() are going to stay.

For starters, would it be possible to teach the 'disable' hook of your
platform's interrupt controller not to mask the IRQs that have both
IRQ_WAKEUP and IRQ_SUSPENDED set?  That apparently would work around the
wake-up interrupts problem.

Best,
