This isn't exactly accurate, because "run wake" used to mean "wakeup
signals can be generated for this device in the working state of the
system", so it could not be enabled or disabled before too.  It's just
that the function returns "true" for (at least) some devices for which
it used to return "false" (arguably incorrectly).

Other than that I agree with the patch.

Thanks,
