2 happening after 1 is a separate issue. It will never happen
in the wakeup case because the wakeup does a runtime resume:

pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()
IBI -> pm_runtime_mark_last_busy()
another IBI -> pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() and so on
<autosuspend_delay finally elapses>
rpm_suspend() -> device suspended, PME activated
IBI START -> PME -> pm_request_resume()
IBI is delivered after controller runtime resumes
