Excellent, thanks.

Yes, you're right.  I forgot we don't have full wakeup capabilities from
low-power states yet (IO pad wakeups) with DT boots.  We have that
mostly working now, but not ready for v3.10.

Thanks for testing,

Once the OMAP1 build failure is fixed (omap1_defconfig build fails
because of this series), feel free to add
