Drivers using IRQF_COND_SUSPEND generally should use enable_irq_wake() too in case they end up in a situation without sharing a NO_SUSPEND interrupt, in which case their interrupt handlers won't be called after suspend_device_irqs(), so they need to rely on the core to do the wakeup. > I agree that if problematic, it's an existing bug.

It depends on whether or not the watchdog's interrupt handler has to be called immediately after receiving an interrupt (IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is better then) or it can be deferred till the resume_device_irqs() time.
