Yes, that's it.

But at least some drivers call enable_irq_wake() today, so it should just
work for devices handled by them. That may not be all devices you want,
though.

And BTW, there is a problem with the approach I was talking about which is
the sysfs interface for enabling wakeup, so we actually need to put wakeup
IRQ information into struct dev_pm_info and point to that from the
associated wakeup source object. It still should be doable though.
