I am going through this thread again to write something in DT BoF but
this is confusing:

"Partial-IO is a very low power mode"
"not able to do a wakeup from Partial-IO."
"wakeup-source for Partial-IO"

Are you waking up from Partial-IO or are you waking up into Partial-IO?

And why the devices which are configured as wakeup-source cannot wake up
from or for Partial-IO?

Best regards,
