It's possible that this could be a policy decision, ie, whether power/wakeup is set to enabled for those devices or not. However, I'd say that there's only one policy that makes sense in that case : wakeups should be disabled while suspended. If we inhibited the device during runtime to prevent stray input events from being generated, it wouldn't make sense to allow the device to potentially generate an accidental wakeup while suspended. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
