Should USB keyboard be able to wake up every HC or it's a
machine-specific feature? I'm asking because wakeup works on a typical
Intel hardware, but doesn't work on older Tegra SoCs that use Chipidea
controller. It's not obvious to me whether this is something that
firmware handles for Intel or it's broken on Tegra. Could you please
clarify? If it should work for every HC, then I may try to take a closer
look.
