Good point but the ISR is called as a function call and not real
hardware event so no need to turn-off the source in the child
ISR. Parent ISR will clear the source anyways.

But the intention here is to record the event for the child.
I mean for UART wakeup, the received character should be
extracted. If not done, UART will loose that character because
the event is lost. So not sure how the event will be taken
care during resume callback. Could you elaborate bit more on
last comment please?
