At this point, the suspend purpose is to turn off the led(calling
input_dev_toggle(input_dev, false) in function input_dev_suspend()),
but the dev->led gets the status is on, so it will not turn off the led.

Send reset command under the actual test did not turn off the led, get
it just reset the i8042 register? Did not change the led corresponding
gpio status?
