I'm writing:
gt_control & GT_CONTROL_TIMER_ENABLE, where gt_control is old value of GT_CONTROL 
before entering suspend, so on resume:
 - if gt_control == 0x0000 0001 ==> gt_control & GT_CONTROL_TIMER_ENABLE(0x1) == 0x1
 - if gt_control == 0x0000 0000 ==> gt_control & GT_CONTROL_TIMER_ENABLE(0x1) == 0x0

What am I missed?
