No, if the driver doesn't nothing extra to configure the wake up source
other than keeping it enabled, then it fits the case of SKIP_SET_WAKE.
The driver using this wake would have requested and enabled the irq.
When it calls enable_irq_wake, you have nothing extra to set(atleast
from the looks of the driver), so setting SKIP_SET_WAKE will skip the
call and updated the wake flags in irq core.

I don't see the real need of 2 separate sets of irq mask being saved in
either case.
