Why are the platform driver pm suspend calls disabling clks that early?
Can they disable clks in noirq phase, or even later, so that we don't
have to check if the device is clocking in the irq poking functions?
It's best to keep irq operations fast, so that irq control is fast given
that these functions are called from irq flow handlers.
