Yes, this is not a good idea, We will need support for wakeup without 
wakeup registers.
Probably we need to add one more parameter, wake enable to control 
without wake_base.

The MASK register used for updating status register when interrupt 
occurs and LINE register used to pass the status to actual interrupt line.
As per datasheet:

When INT_MSK_LINE [i] is set to 1, the associated interrupt number i is 
INT line masked, which means that no interrupt is generated on the INT line.
When INT_MSK_LINE [i] is set to 0, the associated interrupt number i is  
line enabled: An interrupt is generated on the INT line.
In any case, the INT_STS [i] status bit may or may not be updated, only 
linked to the INT_MSK_STS [i] configuration register bit.


When INT_MSK_STS [i] is set to 1, the associated interrupt number i is
status masked, which means that no interrupt is stored in the INT_STS 
[i]status bit. Note that no interrupt number i is generated on the INT 
line, even if the INT_MSK_LINE [i] register bit is set to 0.
When INT_MSK_STS [i] is set to 0, the associated interrupt number i is 
status enabled: An interrupt status is updated in the INT_STS [i] register.
The interrupt may or may not be generated on the INT line, depending on 
the INT_MSK_LINE [i] configuration register bit.
