When reviewing V2, I wasn't comfortable with just guessing what the old
code means. So, I did some digging and found:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/10/204

Quoting the interesting paragraph from David Brownell:

===

Better would be to preserve any existing settings:

if (!device_can_wakeup(&client->dev))
device_init_wakeup(...)
That way the userspace policy setting is preserved unless the
device itself gets removed ... instead of being clobbered by
the simple act of (re)probing a driver.

===

I have to admit that I am not familiar with device wakeup handling and
especially its userspace policies. Can you double check that your V2
meets the above intention?

Thanks,

Wolfram
