Hi Prashant,
As Benson mentioned, I can check on my test Vell device that changing
power/control does not suspend the device.
Should it be controllable even without a driver bound?
The RGB keyboard seems to be able to enter sleep with a suspend signal.
Fyi, here are the related bugs for more context: b/242087721 and b/249173368
Thank you,
