Independently re-tested on Square Terminal with WCN3680B using these steps
on a recently rebased tree (last month).

Used the Linaro DB410c Debian image as userspace & called nmcli to enable
WoWLAN instead of iw directly.

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect <SSID> password "<password>"
sudo nmcli connection modify <SSID> connection.autoconnect yes
# (^ need to set MAC address in device tree for autoconnect at boot)
sudo nmcli connection modify <SSID> wifi.wake-on-wlan magic
sudo service network-manager restart

- arping returns the WLAN MAC address without waking up the device from
  suspend.
- ping wakes up the device from suspend (it does take ~8-16s without
  LPM patches).
- Device stayed connected after leaving device in suspend for longer than
  my network's GTK rekeying interval (1hr) and then waking from suspend.
