"Can't disable/enable one seperately" is just a warning, all the devices
with the same GPE can be disabled/enabled once.

wakeup flag in this driver is a generic software flag in "struct
device", but the wakeup flag you see in /proc/acpi/wakeup is a hardware
wakeup flag in ACPI device, all the wakeup events triggered by hardware
devices are handled by ACPI driver.

But i indeed regret wakeup flags in /sys/... and /proc/acpi/wakeup
haven't any association. They should be consolidated in my opinion.

Zhang Rui said they are doing it, but i didn't get any information about
progress, i completely agree it should be done ASAP.

If you need to enbale wakeup, you.d better enable wakeup flag in
both /proc/acpi/wakeup and /sys/..., i can use USB mouse to wake up my
machine from S3.
