More details: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:system/core/libsuspend/autosuspend_wakeup_count.cpp;bpv=1;bpt=1;l=52?q=%22%2Fsys%2Fpower%2Fstate%22&start=51&gsn=sys_power_state&gs=kythe%3A%2F%2Fandroid.googlesource.com%2Fplatform%2Fsuperproject%3Flang%3Dc%252B%252B%3Fpath%3Dsystem%2Fcore%2Flibsuspend%2Fautosuspend_wakeup_count.cpp%23ftWlDJuOhS_2fn3Ri7rClxA30blj_idGgT12aoUHd1o

So indeed it looks like it's userspace controlled. If you want this to
be a runtime, rather than a compiletime, switch, maybe
autosuspend_init() of that file could write to a sysctl.

Who at Google "owns" that code? Can somebody CC them in?
