I am worried that we are not doing the right thing here. why should the
xhci-plat goes against the wishes of the user space policy here? Can we NOT
just do anything here? If some one wants xhci-plat to wakeup all the time,
dwc3 will be configured to wakeup the system provided that the support is
available. This way we don't break any existing users of xhci-plat i.e not
enabling wakeup from the kernel.
