I believe only mask the interrupt. However, the caveat here could be if
the parent interrupt controller actually supports wake-up. For Tegra it
is the LIC that handles the wake-up.

Are you sure you were disabling the PMIC host interrupt? If you disable
the RTC interrupt in the PMIC's RTC driver, then this will prevent the
wake-up from occurring because you are masking the interrupt within the
PMIC and so it will never generate an interrupt to the host.
