Wake up from a hard INT is simply a runtime_resume of the codec driver.
That is no different from ASoC runtime resuming the driver to perform
some audio activity, or to access a volatile register. An event caused
a runtime-resume - the driver and the host controller must resume.

The Intel code _must_ be able to safely wakeup from clock-stop if
something runtime-resumes the codec driver. ASoC relies on that, and
pm_runtime would be broken if that doesn't work.
