That is not the how I undetand IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND use.
I thought it can be used for any IRQ chip for masking or setting wakeup on
interrupts lines managed by that chip for suspend. May be I am wrong.

I have seen lot more platforms use in downstream kernels. Also seen recently
patches on the linux-arm list for couple of platforms.

Sounds a good idea. Since you already had discussion with Rafael,
probably you can describe the issue better.
