If an interrupt is a wakeup source, and it is disabled at the chip
level, it will no longer generate interrupts, and thus no longer wake
up the system.

I'd be interested in hearing why wakeup interrupts should be disabled
during suspend.

The bug is that on TI OMAP, interrupts that are used for wakeup events
are disabled by this code causing the system to no longer wake up.

I'll update the patch description.
