Its an unfortunate side effect of the design. Drivers will have to
request the PDC pin for wakeup IRQs.

With GPIOs, I am trying to hack the TLMM driver to request a PDC pin,
when the IRQ associated with the GPIO is requested as a wakeup
interrupt. In that case, the TLMM driver would do the GPIO->PDC pin
translation and request it. There is no hierarchy between TLMM and PDC.

Will try a RFC patch in a week or two.
