I don't happen to see macros for suspend_noirq and resume_noirq, so maybe you
cannot use macros here after all and will instead have to fall back to tacking
on __maybe_unused to these callbacks to accommodate the !CONFIG_PM case.

That being said, what are you ultimately trying to accomplish here with these
noirq variants? For example the print statement says "early resume" when in
fact a different callback exists for that (resume_early).

On that note, why to disable interrupts during system suspend? I can imagine a
use-case where a customer ties the output of a force sensor to a CS40L26 GPIO
for low-latency haptic trigger, and then the CS40L26 interrupt output to the
SoC as a wake-up trigger. Does the part not support this use-case? I vaguely
seem to remember an issue with this on L25.

Also, why is the logic inverted for the noirq variants? These are simply meant
to accommodate additional tasks that need a guarantee the device's interrupt
handler is not running (for example, clear or acknowledge a pending interrupt).
In case I have misunderstood the intent, please let me know.

One last gripe, then I promise to stop bringing it up :) But the mental gymnastics
required to explain the no-fewer-than-six PM callbacks used here, as well as how
to support the !CONFIG_PM case, are in some ways additional nudges toward getting
rid of this massive amount of PM overhead and relying on the device's internal
power management as so many modern input devices now do. As a rule of thumb, if
you're having to jump through a lot of hoops to do simple things that others seem
to be doing with less work, something is wrong.

In your defense, however, you are unlikely to come across many devices that do
not enable CONFIG_PM given this device's target application. That being said, it
is not unheard of for OEMs building wall-powered devices to enable CONFIG_PM but
inhibit system suspend using a wake_lock because of some HW bug.

Therefore, it seems a bit unfortunate that those use-cases wouldn't get to enjoy
the power savings this devices offers. That's just my $.02; I also understand
the reasons behind the current implementation and won't push you to change it.
