Get the maintainers of the affected platforms to agree to the changes.

Hi,

all of you using a edt,* touchscreen and currently the driver marks
the touchscreen as wakeup source. To keep backward compatibility I added
a workaround binding (see below) but Dmitry prefer to use the normal
"wakeup-source" binding and change the affected device-tree's
(discussion below). Can you give me your ack/nack for Dmitry's solution?

Regards,
  Marco

we don't have any upstrem suspend support on the Allwinner SoCs, so
you can safely ignore all the sunxi DTS here.

So, if I understand this correctly, currently the driver always assume it
is a wakeup source regardless if the "wakeup-source" DT property being
present or not. And the proposed change now is to fix the driver so that it
will assume a wakeup source role only if the DT property is present?

If that is the case then ACK from my side for the AM43x devices.

Benoit
