I have a question to ask you:
There are two ways to wake up the Linux kernel system in 8051.
1)RTC wakeup:
The SP7021 system mounts the RTC device driver.
I set the RTC wake-up time by type commands in command line.
Example:
echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm && nnn=`date '+%s'` && echo $nnn && nnn=`expr $nnn + 10` && echo $nnn > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
When the linux kernel system has no power. 8051 can read RTC resgister and receive RTC wakeup interrupt.
Do I need to add RTC subsystem functiona to the IOP code?

2)GPIO wakeup:
According to your suggestion
I use of_get_name_gpio() to get GPIO number from device tree during the IOP probe process.
Pass it to 8051 for use.

Thanks
