The current problem is that if wakeup is enabled for any IRQ in the chip
(say, the PMIC's power button), then we enable wakeup for the parent IRQ,
and now suddenly all (enabled) IRQs on the PMIC are also inadvertently
wakeup-enabled.

But I realize this patch does not actually solve the issue, for a couple
of reasons:
1) regmap-irq does not implement .irq_mask, just .irq_disable.
2) The __disable_irq() call in suspend_device_irq() should be sufficient,
   except that we fail the irq_settings_is_nested_thread() check in
   suspend_device_irqs().

So maybe the real issue is that commit 3c646f2c6aa9 ("genirq: Don't
suspend nested_thread irqs over system suspend") missed the case where
the child IRQ should be suspended, but the parent IRQ should not.

If that is fixed, then suspend_device_irq() should do the right thing
without any changes to the regmap-irq code.

Sorry for the noise.
