It took me some time to distangle that changelog.... and I don't think that
this is the right thing to do.

set_irq_wake_real() returns 0 when the topmost chip has SKIP_SET_WAKE set.

So let's assume we have the following chains:

  chip A -> chip B 

  chip A -> chip B -> chip C

chip A has SKIP_SET_WAKE not set
chip B has SKIP_SET_WAKE set
chip C has SKIP_SET_WAKE not set and invokes irq_chip_set_wake_parent()

Now assume we have interrupt X connected to chip B and interrupt Y
connected to chip C.

If irq_set_wake() is called for interrupt X, then the function returns
without trying to invoke the set_wake() callback of chip A.

If irq_set_wake() is called for interrupt Y, irq_chip_set_wake_parent() is
invoked from chip C which then skips chip B, but tries to invoke the
callback on chip A.

That's inconsistent and changes the existing behaviour. So IMO, the right
thing to do is to return 0 from irq_chip_set_wake_parent() when the parent
has SKIP_SET_WAKE set and not to try to follow the whole chain. That should
fix your problem nicely w/o changing behaviour.
