The interrupt is NOT disabled at the interrupt chip level. The core does:

suspend_device_irqs() {
__disable_irq() {
if (!desc->depth++)
irq_disable(desc) {
irq_state_set_disabled(desc);
if (desc->irq_data.chip->irq_disable) {
desc->irq_data.chip->irq_disable(&desc->irq_data);
irq_state_set_masked(desc);
}

Your chip does not have a chip->irq_disable() callback installed, so
the interrupt is not masked at the controller level. So APMU sees the
interrupt enabled.

APMU does not care about the irq_desc->depth counter and the irq_data
IRQD_DISABLED state bit.

So this hackery is completely pointless.

Thanks,
