Yes I think that was a redundant code, so I removed it. IIRC it was
setting IRQF_NO_SUSPEND in irq_set_wake callback which again is incorrect.

OK that's interesting, will have check if I have similar behavior on my
setup too.

Hmm not sure, but better to test it together if possible. If required we
can reorder for bisect-ability reasons.

Yes I left it so that I can add if the maintainer insist and not churn
too much code adding warning.
