Sorry - the explanation is indeed lacking in that area!

It means that sometimes, on XO-1.5 (but not XO-1), the devices that
were marked as wakeup sources can't wake up the system. e.g. you ask
for wifi wakeups, suspend, but then incoming wifi frames don't wake up
the system as they should.

In my opinion, as a simple bugfix (verified by 2 of our EC firmware
developers) it is 3.1 material.

Thanks,
Daniel
