Whether a device's interrupt can cause a wakeup is a h/w feature.
That's not policy. If Linux also uses this to decide whether or not to
enable wakeup, then that's its policy.

While the reasoning to add this may have been for QCom, having this
property for other users makes sense. On some platforms, 'snps,dwc3'
is the only node (i.e. there's no wrapper node). So I don't think this
should be reverted.
