That the comparator stops is completely expected, as it lives in the
CPU power domain.

But losing the system counter on suspend is a complete violation of
the architecture, which clearly states that "The system counter must
be implemented in an always-on power domain." (ARMv8 ARM G_a, D11.1.2
The system counter).

Are you actually losing the system counter?

Not enough for what? People might want to trade the use of in-SoC
devices for MSIs. Also, the DT should describe the whole of the HW,
including features that you don't find useful.
