Would you mind trying to extend/clarify this commit-msg a bit more, to
make the benefit more clear.

For example, today we may be wasting energy, by unnecessarily keeping
PM domains powered-on during system-wide suspend, when a device has
been enabled for system-wakeup...

In regards to terminology, I would appreciate if we could use
"system-wakeup" and "out-band system-wakeup logic" and "system-wide
suspend".

Please split this into two separate patches.

I suggest we drop the bool as in-parameter and just do:
dev->power.out_band_wakeup = true;

Moreover, I think we should clear the flag in device_prepare(), next
to where dev->power.wakeup_path is cleared.

This makes the behavior better aligned for users of these flags.

Nitpick: I would rename this into device_out_band_wakeup(). At least
the "get" part is a confusing in my opinion, as indicates there is
reference taken too.

Otherwise, from an overall functionality point of view, this makes sense to me!

Kind regards
