You are suspending the system and want to have this device as a wakeup
source. Note: not wake up _device_ at every IRQ but wake up the whole
_system_ when device generates an IRQ while system is asleep.
It does not matter whether there are users for the events; you
want the system to wake up.

At least this is the usual semantics.
