So actually the underlying problem here is that device_wakeup_enable()
tries to register a wakeup source and then attach it to the device to
avoid calling possibly sleeping functions under a spinlock.

However, it should be possible to call wakeup_source_create(name)
first, then attach the wakeup source to the device (after checking for
presence), and then invoke wakeup_source_add() (after dropping the
lock).  If the wakeup source virtual device registration is done in
wakeup_source_add(), that should avoid the problem altogether without
having to introduce extra complexity.
