Yes, it is not there intentionally.

Strictly speaking, IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED is there to indicate to the IRQ
subsystem that the given IRQ is a system wakeup one and has been left
enabled specifically in order to signal system wakeup.  It allows the
IRQ to trigger between suspend_device_irqs() and resume_device_irqs()
exactly once, which causes the system to wake up from suspend-to-idle
(that's the primary use case for it) or aborts system suspends in
progress.

As you have noticed, it is set automatically by suspend_device_irqs()
if the given IRQ has IRQD_WAKEUP_STATE which is the case when it has
been enabled for system wakeup.

The idea is that the regular IRQ "action" handler will run before
suspend_device_irqs(), so it should take care of signaling wakeup if
need be.  IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED to trigger wakeup when IRQ "action"
handlers don't run.

Well, that's a mistake.
