Okay, I see.

Unfortunate, I am still not fully understanding the scenarios. As you
indicate, the problem seems related to wakeup settings.

Could you please try to answer the below questions, hopefully it helps
me to better understand.

1)
While starting the system suspend sequence, under what circumstances
are you expecting the vdd_gpu and pd_gpu to be powered on?

2)
While starting the system suspend sequence, under what circumstances
are you expecting the vdd_gpu and the pd_gpu to be powered off?

3)
What devices are attached to vdd_gpu?

4)
What devices are attached to pd_gpu?
