No prob. :-)

Actually, there's one more approach possible.  Thomas might not like it, but
here it goes anyway for consideration.

What about making it possible to provide a special irqaction to be called
while suspended for the shared IRQF_NO_SUSPEND interrupts.

Say we have a "suspended_action" pointer in struct irq_desc in addition to
"action" and we swap them in suspend_device_irq() if desc->no_suspend_depth is
nonzero and "suspended_action" is not NULL (and then back in resume_irq()).
Then, the platform might supply "suspended_action" that will do the right
thing for the IRQ.

So the requirement would be to have "suspended_action" set to start with
and then the WARN_ON() in irq_pm_install_action() may check if that is present
and only trigger the warning if it isn't.

Thoughs?
