Correction of terminologies: TIFS is Root of trust component and is not
usually involved in power management, that would be DM (Device Manager)

But to be really sure who is doing what, Could you provide an example
and the platform on which you see the issue / external abort?

Hmm, if something is wakeup source, I would expect even TIFS/DM not to
turn if off, else module wakeup wouldn't work.
