It's the sequence how this works and it works correctly.

Just because it does not work on your machine it does not mean that this
is incorrect and a BUG.

You are trying to fix a symptom and thereby violating guarantees of the
core code.

Correct, because the interrupt has been DISABLED in the mean time.

No. It is _NOT_ a BUG. unmask() is not allowed to be invoked when the
interrupt is DISABLED. That's the last time I'm going to tell you that.
Only enable_irq() can undo the effect of disable_irq(), period.

Did you actually look at the sequence I gave you?

   Suspend:

	  i2c_hid_core_suspend()
	     disable_irq();       <- Marks it disabled and eventually
				     masks it.

	  gpio_irq_suspend()
	     save_registers();    <- Saves masked interrupt

   Resume:

	  gpio_irq_resume()
	     restore_registers(); <- Restores masked interrupt

	  i2c_hid_core_resume()
	     enable_irq();        <- Unmasks interrupt and removes the
				     disabled marker


Have you verified that this order of invocations is what happens on
your machine?
