That should work for my case.
Note that I also proposed a version that does not touch the irq_desc
struct, but I had to add an irq_is_wakeup_armed helper function to
test in which state the irq handler is called. Your solution would make
this easier.

Could you remind me what was Thomas concern regarding this suspended
action list approach ?
