The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ302EA/GZ302EAC) wakes up from suspend-to-idle
without any user input. With PM debug messages enabled, each unexpected
wakeup shows the EC raising IRQ1 at the same time as the ACPI SCI:

PM: Triggering wakeup from IRQ 9
PM: Triggering wakeup from IRQ 1
ACPI: EC: Query(0xa3) started
ACPI: PM: Wakeup after ACPI Notify sync

EC query 0xa3 only notifies the battery of a status change, which
happens when it transitions between Charging and Full while on AC.
The ACPI core correctly treats that as a non-wakeup event and cancels
the SCI wakeup, but the IRQ1 wakeup remains pending and resumes the
system. i8042 debugging confirms that the keyboard controller has no
data at that point ("Interrupt 1, without any data").

The detachable keyboard on this device is a USB device, so disabling
the i8042 wakeup source does not result in any functional loss. With
serio0 wakeup disabled, the same battery event is processed during
suspend-to-idle and the system stays asleep.

Add the spurious_8042 quirk for it. The GZ302EAC reports sys_vendor
"ASUS" while the GZ302EA reports "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.", so match on
"ASUS" and on the "GZ302EA" board name to cover both models.

Good analysis of this issue. It sounds like the right direction for this problem.
