So, as I told Alexandre, 'wakeup' including the values 'enabled' &
'disabled' is how devices that support wake expose this functionality. I
think this is more in line with what already exists. As reference, have
a look at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/devices.txt. It
has a section '/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files'.
