I'm not sure what the phrase "we will keep see the wakeup event" is supposed to mean. For us to "see" any events there has to be a GPE set up or PCIe PME enabled on the right root port. Otherwise I don't see how we can receive the event at all. The bus type wakeup code won't know how to clear the register to acknowledge the wakeup, but the driver's ->runtime_resume() callback surely can do that. > What code would be responsible for setting and clearing the > non-standard wakeup register?

In any case the event has to be raised in one of the standard ways.
