Yes, it is in always on domain.

I can't catch what you mean. Can you show me an example?

In this driver, the Core0 is configured to be the default core to be woke up, not both. You can
configure it to Core1 by changing the cpu2wakeup value. I don't see any reason to
use IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE flag.
