Going through the details of documentation under 
/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files of power/device.txt, I think 
following should be the change if we want to control the wakeup control 
through user sapce:
During initialization of device, we need to tell that device is wakeup 
capable and hence we need to call the: device_wakeup_init() and 
device_set_wakeup_capable(dev, true).
Then it exposes the required sysfs to userspace to select the wakeup 
enable or not i.e. power/wakeup to be written as enabled or disabled.
Based on user selection, the function device_may_wakeup() will return 
true/false based on  power/wakeup enabled/disabled. So before entering 
into the suspend, we need to check this function and call 
enable_irq_wakeup() to have the wakeup enabled actually in the soc. In 
resume we need to call disable_irq_wake() again.

If this is correct approach then I can push the another patch.
