What's wrong with internals.h? devres.c is core code, so it is not
affected of the ban to include internals.h :)

Can we please kill this last paragraph? I'm already seeing the
gazillion of "I think it is required to do so for my soooo special
chip" implementations in random drivers which all get it wrong again.

So I'd rather provide a mechanism upfront which lets the driver know
that the wakeup interrupt originated from that device, i.e. let the
wake up handler call

     pm_wakeup_irq(dev);

which calls:

      pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(dev);
      pm_request_resume(dev);

and aside of that tells the device via a flag or preferrably a
sequence counter that the wakeup irq has been triggered. So affected
devices can handle it based on that information w/o implementing the
next broken variant of wakeup irq handlers.

That also allows to remove the wakeflags check for level/edge.

This is the second time I stumbled over this. While it is correct it
would be simpler to parse 

      if (!dev || !wakeirq) {

At least for my review damaged brain :)

Is there a reason why we force the wakeirq into a threaded handler?
