Then it needs to be written.

The driver correctly used enable_irq_wake() to indicate that interrupt should
be a wakeup source, the now the core/board needs to make sure the interrupt
gets delivered to the driver properly. We should not be patching every driver
that uses enable_irq_wake() with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND. If you look at the earlier
patch discussion Tegra folks managed to implement this behavior just fine.
