Hum. "Since when the users configures the enabled wake-up sources there
is no way to know if the user will be doing suspend to RAM or standby,
we just allow all wake-up sources to be enabled, and only warn when
entering suspend to RAM".

We already had some discussion about this, and I believe this continue
to be confusing: there are some wake-up sources taken into account when
in suspend to RAM: the special button used by the micro-controller. It
is indeed not a wake-up source in the Linux sense, but it is still a
wake-up source. With such a message, the user may believe that there is
simply no way of resuming the platform.

Maybe just:

	pr_warn("Entering suspend to RAM. Only special wake-up sources will resume the system\n");

Best regards,

Thomas
