Subject: Re: [PATCH] HID: usbhid: enable remote wakeup for mice

Thanks for the prompt response.

My initial reasoning was to set as default the wakeup behavior so a
mouse button press would wake the system. I am well aware that most if
not all mice don't support wake on move, but at least wake on button
press would have been more desirable than doing nothing.

Anyway, I'll solve this problem on my system by writing to wakeup
property on device attach. Consider my change abandoned.

Thanks,
Benson
