Why would not you? What is the difference between ACPI systems and all
other systems? If ACPI-based systems need certain behavior they need to
implement it, the same as DT-based systems or custom boards.

And the driver does not really care about this and whether the sleep
state is suspend or freeze or something else, it is your platform that
cares and has certain limitations that require interrupts to be not
suspended in certain cases.

>From the driver POV it says that the device can be a waekup source
(again it does not care about details as to which sleep state we woudl
be waking from) and it expects the PM core to handle the things
properly. If certain sleep state requires interrupts to be kept on then
PM core should make them as such, not driver.

Are you proposing for IRQ core to automatically set IRQF_NO_SUSPEND for
IRQF_SHARED interrupts? That wold be fine with me.

I do not believe I asked why suspend_device_irqs() was introduced.

I see that just handful of them use IRQF_NO_SUSPEND (not sure how many
are actully required), I see that a lot more drivers use
enable_irq_wake() and do not bother setting IRQF_NO_SUSPEND.

Thanks.
