I was trying to have if string if/else if/else, but I can keep it as it
was.

Just to confirm - you are saying that disabling the device as a wakeup
source can be safely postponed till the normal resume stage? I was
trying to keep as much of the original behavior as possible and this is
a part of acpi_dev_resume() that we are now postponing.

Thanks.
