Yes, WAKEEN should be enabled for runtime suspend and disabled for system suspend.
In principle we should always do runtime-resume -> suspend flow when runtime and system PM requires different wakeup settings.

That also means HDA controllers can't use direct-complete at all.

However, I did some testing on keeping WAKEEN enabled for graphics card's audio controller, and they didn't wake system up.
But yes, in principle they are not safe, I'll change it in v2.
