This is correct...

...but this logic says dirty "if either sleep or wake has changed and
both sleep and wake are requested".
So what if we have an entry with only sleep wake changed, then the
controller won't be dirty and hence the hardware won't know about this
request - until another "fully specified" request comes in, which would
cause the controller to be dirty and flush out the "partially specified"
request as well.
Is this really the expected behavior?
