Some of chromeos' features (called "darkresume" in chromeos terminology) use and track the wake up sources using the wakeup attributes in sysfs. Since the wireless device can wake up the host, hence we wanted to add it as a wakeup source to the system, and in the case of an actual wakeup event, trigger to the PM core that it was indeed caused by the device and it increments the different counters etc. In the absence of this patch, the feature wasn't working very well (as it was apparently confused about the cause of wake up). Thanks, Rajat
