Unfortunately I don't have access to any of those devices.

am33xx has proper ethernet (cpsw IP core on SoC and not something
behind USB).

This does not help. Checking the manual, there is not something like
PIN_OFF_WAKEUPENABLE for am33xx. There is just INPUT/OUTPUT, pull
up/down + enabled/disabled and the mux_mode. For the interrupt, the HW
referenced as omap3_pmx_core touches some bits in the pinmux register
which do not exists on am33xx.

So I have nothing on HW around that could test wakeup scenario.

Good to know.

Maybe. But I would expect to explode around the console code. Anyway I
fixed it up and prepare next batch.
