Yes, something like that.

Right, well-behaved driver using IRQF_SHARED should expect IRQ at any
time, even if the device supposed to be quiesced at the time. But I
guess we are still not comfortable setting IRQF_NO_SUSPEND even though
it should be OK.

Right, but I am hoping that enable_irq_wake() can imply IRQF_NO_SUSPEND.

I was under impression that some of sleep paths were skipping freezer.
If not then they all need this.
