Yeah, it's kind of obvious now that just use wakeup-source. Your
hardware does not have two different methods of waking up. System is
sleeping - either S2R or partial-IO or whatever - and you want it to be
woken up.
Entire property is unnecessary... and as I said before - you added it
only for your driver. If same feedback is repeated and repeated, there
is something in it...
