Great! I need to dig into the context restore some more.

I am not 100% sure I follow. On boot I would expect to see a
resume/suspend due to the probe on the irq bank and then I would expect
to see another resume from the acquisition of the gpio, however, I would
not expect a suspend until the gpio is freed, which I don't believe you
are doing.

Can you share your hack? Just paste the diff? This may help me
understand more.
