Well, if it should be done by the device/pm core then you want to
store that information in the device related data structure. 

struct dev_pm_info might be the right place for it, but that's up to
Rafael.

So driver would set

   dev->power.update_wakeirq_type = true;
   dev->power.irq_type_normal = IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH;
   dev->power.irq_type_sleep = IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_LOW;

And the dev/PM core can issue the calls on suspend/resume.
