OK sounds good to me.

Will check thanks.

I was thinking that too but then bus or device itself won't be
able to manage the wakeirq if needed.

Let me check if we could easily add something to initialize things
like dev_pm_manage_wake_irq() and dev_pm_dont_manage_wake_irq().
That means we need to update the drivers using it, but then we don't
need to add extra checks to the idle path and can let bus or
drivers mange the wakeirq if necessary.
