It is still somewhat unclear to be honest.

What does "the original program" above mean?  sleepgraph.py before the patch?

And IIUC the goal of the patch is to prevent sleepgraph from
mistakenly treating the "CPU up" message as part of the suspend flow
(because it should be regarded as part of the resume flow).

If my understanding above is correct, please update the patch
changelog accordingly and resubmit the patch.
