I don't have the complete picture, but it seems that the IRQ handler needs to check the return code from pm_runtime_get_sync(). If the call fails then the handler shouldn't try to access the device registers. In the case of a genuine wakeup event, the event should be handled later on as part of the resume or resume_noirq processing. However, this does raise a potential problem. What happens if the clocks are needed in order to turn off the IRQ source? Runtime PM won't allow the clocks to be enabled until after interrupts have been enabled, and by then it will be too late -- the source will have caused an interrupt storm.
