The similar warning on pch platforms was added to catch runtime pm bugs
where someone enabled some interrupt source, but didn't hold a runtime pm
reference. That's just not going to work. So motivation for this patch is
vlv/chv runtime pm really.

But I also think that this check provides value for driver
load/resume/suspend since if we change interrupt settings after the
interrupts have been disabled or before enabling something is at least
fishy. At least insofar as that our irq install hooks nowadays overwrite
all of them with default values.
