Oh sorry I did not mean that. I meant that it's a debug interface so it's
not like we should freeze it. My main issues are the dependencies and
the interface above.

Anyways, I guess you are using this to test suspend on a remote system
with no hardware trigger to wake it back up?

If so, how about some RTC alarm like interface to set the wake-up
event after suspending? There may be a way to do this already and
have it triggered from rtc-omap..

Regards,

Tony
