Sorry I am not the _expert_ in suspend/resume feature but I can debug this,
Certainly we need to look into whether reset controller calls are needed
to suspend or resume for this driver.

First thing we need to get the RTC driver to work on Odroid N2 for
suspend wakeup
to work properly.
For this I have created the following patches.

[0] https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11665865/

With these patches the RTC feature for wake up is broken right now in
my testing.
Once I get something to work further I will update you.
