Right. I don't expect a problem with most keys, but my proposal is to
special case KEY_POWER while suspended. If a key press event must be
sent to keep Android and other userspace happy I suggest sending
something different just for that situation.
Like this:

KEY_WAKEUP, 1);

I want to note this driver works quite differently than how ACPI power
button does.
You can see in acpi_button_notify() that the "keypress" is only
forwarded when not suspended [1]. Otherwise it's just wakeup event
(which is what my patch was modeling).
