Sry. But I did not get this part of the patch :(

static bool suspend_device_irq(struct irq_desc *desc)
{
if (!desc->action || irq_desc_is_chained(desc) ||
desc->no_suspend_depth) {
pr_err("skip irq %d\n", irq_desc_get_irq(desc));
return false;
}

if (irqd_is_wakeup_set(&desc->irq_data)) {
irqd_set(&desc->irq_data, IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED);
/*
* We return true here to force the caller to issue
* synchronize_irq(). We need to make sure that the
* IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED is visible before we return from
* suspend_device_irqs().
*/
pr_err("wakeup irq %d\n", irq_desc_get_irq(desc));
return true;
}

^^^^ Here you've added a warning

desc->istate |= IRQS_SUSPENDED;
__disable_irq(desc);

^^^^ Here non wakeup IRQs will be disabled

pr_err("%s __disable_irq irq %d\n", irq_desc_get_chip(desc)->name, irq_desc_get_irq(desc));

/*
* Hardware which has no wakeup source configuration facility
* requires that the non wakeup interrupts are masked at the
* chip level. The chip implementation indicates that with
* IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND.
*/
if (irq_desc_get_chip(desc)->flags & IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND) {
mask_irq(desc);
pr_err("%s mask_irq irq %d\n", irq_desc_get_chip(desc)->name, irq_desc_get_irq(desc));
}

return true;
}

As result, there should be a ton of warnings if one IRQ (for example in GPIO irqchip)
is wakeup source, but all other are not.

Also I'd like to note that:
- it is not expected that any IRQs have to be freed on enter Suspend
- Primary interrupt controller is expected to be suspended from syscore_suspend()
- not Primary interrupt controllers may be Suspended from:
-- dpm_suspend() or dpm_suspend_late() - usual case for external interrupt controllers
GPIO expanders (I2C, SPI ..)
-- dpm_suspend_noirq() - usual case for SoC peripherals like OMAP GPIO
dpm_suspend_noirq
|- suspend_device_irqs()
|- device_suspend_noirq() [1] <-- OMAP GPIO do suspend here.
-- as always, some arches/maches may require hacks in platform code.

So, In my opinion, suspend has to be handled by each irqchip driver separately,
most probably at suspend_noirq level [1], because only irqchip driver
now sees a full picture and knows if it can suspend or not, and when, and how.
(may require to use pm_runtime_force_suspend/resume()).

I propose do not touch common/generic suspend code now. Any common code can be always
refactored later once there will be real drivers updated to use irqchip RPM
and which will support Suspend.
