I fixed dummy_irq_chip in the second patch of the series ("[PATCH 2/2] [RFC]
genirq: Set IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE for no_irq_chip and dummy_irq_chip:).
But please note that that would fix the warning (issue 1) only.

Pcf857x still needs to propagate the wake-up setting to the parent interrupt
controller to avoid the parent from being suspended if wake-up is enabled
(issue 2). That cannot be done in dummy_irq_chip, as dummy_irq_chip doesn't
know it is cascaded to a parent interrupt controller, nor about the interrupt
number that is used for the cascade. That information is specific to the child
driver.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
