We should do dev_pm_set_dedicated_wake_irq() on the pin related
to gpio42 in the WLAN driver. That way the pinctrl interrupt will
wake up the system and the GPIO interrupt should show up as it
presumably is a level interrupt. The interrupt probably should be
requested by wlcore as the SDIO chips also can have a GPIO interrupt.
That's the interrupts-extended entries we already have for 8250 and
MMC etc.

Yeah.

Could still wake up the system I guess if configured.

Yeah in the long run initramfs + ssh over WLAN is probably the best
to develop with if you don't have a serial console wired up. That
allows hitting idle states with mosh at least working OK as long as
the WLAN wakeirq works properly.
