Thanks for confirming this.

Correct, I have no objection on how it's saved/restored but was against
having 2 different masks and with the approach taken in this patch the
non-wakeup interrupts are enabled until syscore_suspend which is wrong.

There's whole lot of drivers blindly copy pasting this as theme which I
am going through and trying to clean up. I wanted to ensure no more such
additions happen meanwhile, so I am watching such patches closely.
