the following would describe better the reason for disabling wakeref asserts.
That is we access the HW without holding a runtime PM reference, but it's ok
here since it's handled as a special case during runtime suspend:

		* The notifier is unregistered during intel_runtime_suspend(),
		* so it's ok to access the HW here without holding an RPM
		* wake reference -> disable wakeref asserts for the time of
		* the access.

With that this looks ok:
