OK, but from the existing implementation of suspend/resume callbacks, I
read that the clocks as well as the IP block is powered off. Is part of
the logic always-on ?

OK, then I assume you can add the right APIs(enable_irq_wake and
friends) when you add that feature.

No using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND for wakeup is simply wrong and hence this patch
series removes all those misuse. If you need it as wakeup, then you need
to use right APIs for that. Since I don't see any support for wakeup in
this driver I decided to just remove the flag. Please feel free to add
the support making use of right APIs.
