We already have a way to do this by using 'wakeup' for the
interrupt-names entry. But I guess that ship has sailed here and that
wouldn't work well if not just a wakeup source (though you could repeat
an interrupt line that's the wakeup source).

Bingo!

Note that if the device is wakeup capable, it should have a
'wakeup-source' property in this case.

I'd be okay with this (though it should be a power of 2 number).

Another option is couldn't you just enable all the interrupts as wakeup
sources? Presumably, only one of them would trigger a wakeup.
