Since when is it common practise to describe the dependencies for the
various components included in a single commit? My opinion is that the
person reading the code if requiring more information will have to
grep for IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND in the friendly source code and learn
how the subsystem is held together.

In the case you have some special detailed commit message that you
would like me to use then please feel free to propose that. If not
then I will then split up the patches.
