Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 2/6] arm: arm64: dts: Enable cros-ec-spi as wake source

> If a device knows it is wakeup capable, why do you need a property too?

I'm referencing:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/wakeup-source.txt
"Nodes that describe devices which has wakeup capability must contain
an "wakeup-source" boolean property."

Currently the driver assumes the device is wake capable without
parsing the device tree, which is an incorrect assumption as wake
capability should not be enabled on some cros_ec systems.

Agreed. In this case, the driver is a ChromeOS related driver and DTS
is built from source for each OS update.
For more context, I will make sure to CC you (and everyone else) and
include a cover letter in the next series version.
