we dont have a irq cleanup, irq handling is done in palmas-mfd. Further,

Why would USB driver care about vbus supply needs in complete power off
- it is the job of palmas driver? Further, palmas-mfd shutdown
handler(currently missing) if probably cleansup things:

 mfd_remove_devices(palmas->dev);
  palmas_irq_exit(palmas);

shutdown sequence becomes complicated further esp if things are
cleanedup in shutdown (Dummy patch[1]).

 
All I am saying is this: shutdown should allow powerup functionality to
work as well, how we do that is upto us - I personally found it a little
easier to keep the IRQ unmask in shutdown easier to deal with, but other
options might be possible as well.
