Here is the failure scenario:

1. Consider the case of trackpad which acts as a wake source.
2. Since the pad is configured for SCI, GPE_STS gets set for that pad
during normal interrupts as well (i.e. during probe at boot or when
using the trackpad)
3. Now, when the platform decides to enter S0ix, it enables the wake
on trackpad by enabling appropriate GPE_EN bit.
4. So, at this point, we are in a situation where GPE_EN as well as
GPE_STS are set.
5. Now, if the platform enters S0ix, having GPE_STS set will result in
unwanted wakes because of stale events.

This is similar to what was fixed on the legacy sleep path:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/12/42. However, as S0ix does not follow
the legacy sleep path, clearing of GPE status does not happen. Thus,
it is causing failures to go into S0ix on our platforms because of the
stale wake events as described above.

Won't those be stale events? i.e. any event that has occurred before
GPE is enabled should be ignored.
