Thanks a lot for your comments first!

I just look into the irq code, if we extend bit[5] to carry wakeup info ( due to bit[4] is used for IRQ_TYPE_PROBE),
then configure it in the TYPE field of 'interrupts' property, so that interrupt controller would know which interrupt
is wakeup capable.
I think there is no much work core would do, may just set this interrupt wakup capable. Another functionality is
driver side get this info to identify which mixed interrupt has wakeup capability, we can export symbol from kernel/irq/irqdomain.c.

The intention is to let driver know which interrupt is wakeup capable, I would choose to provider this in specific driver,
instead of interrupt controller, it seems to me that others may all choose this solution for wakeup mixed interrupt.

So I would prefer solution 1, it's easier and under-control. I can have a try if you strongly recommend solution 2.
