Probably not but I added the following comment:

	/*
	 * The IRQ must be disabled during suspend since due wakeup
	 * ordering issues it may be possible that the I2C controller
	 * is still suspended when the interrupt happens so the IRQ
	 * handler will fail to read the I2C bus.
	 */
	disable_irq(max77802->irq);

since in theory this PMIC can be used in other SoCs besides
Exynos5420/Exynos5800 and it may be possible that the I2C controller driver for
these other SoCs may not resume at noirq time.

But on a second thought, this PMIC seems to be designed specially for these two
Exynos SoCs so I guess it's safe to assume that it is not needed?

Best regards,
Javier
