Indeed it is. At the time I suggested that change I did not really
understand how the direct complete is supposed to be used :-/
Thanks Ulf for taking care of this!
I tested this series on Dell XPS 9350 which has touch panel connected to
I2C and suspend/resume still works fine and I can see the controller
going to D3 when the touch panel is idle.
I can perform more comprehensive testing next week.
