Does it? And what about the Remote Start part? Wake-on-LAN etc?

1. device_wakeup_disable() can be used here.
2. Do you really want to unregister the wakeup source class device here?
If you need to roll back the poweroff transition, user space will see
this change.
3. What if the device is a NIC that needs to be set up for WoL?
