The sentence looks irrelevant to the fix.  Presumably, EC should send those
pending non-wake events after it receives host resume event.

The regression you see is probably not due to the "separation" but an unwanted
code reorder.

Before 47ea0ddb1f56[1], a resume is:
1) Enable IRQ.
2) Send resume event.
3) Handle pending events.

After 47ea0ddb1f56[2], a resume is:
1) Enable IRQ.
2) Handle pending events.
3) Send resume event.

If there are some more events pending between 2) and 3), they would be handled
further late.

I see what the patch tries to fix but the commit message makes less sense to
me.  Please fix accordingly.
