I missed that when I reviewed the patch. You are right, it can be
simplified.

He still needs the set_wake function to capture the wake enabled
interrupts as they are handed over to the low level asm code via
imx_gpcv2_get_wakeup_source(). Though they could be read back from the
hw registers as well.
