Humm, the explanation is difficult to follow, it's not clear on which
side the interrupts are masked. Are you talking about the peripheral
being prevented from generating interrupts, or about the manager not
detecting peripheral state changes with an interrupt-based mechanism?

I am not sure what 'side effects' can happen, during enumeration all
devices show up as device0 and the SoundWire bus provides a mechanism to
enumerate without conflicts.
