Well, so the KMS suspend-resume doesn't work on your system.

I guess that would require some detailed debugging, so it may be a good idea to
open a Bugzilla entry for this issue.

There is one for PCI devices, actually.  It's struct pci_platform_pm_ops()
defined in drivers/pci/pci.h.

For PCI devices we have pci_enable_wake() that sets up the platform to
wake up the system using given device on the basis of the device's sysfs
setting.  The ACPI flag shown by /proc/acpi/wakeup is not taken into account
in that case.

Generally, you can think of two levels one can enable wakeup at.
First, there is the device level controlled by the sysfs wakeup setting.  This
is how we would like to control wakeup.  Second, however, there is the
/proc/acpi/wakeup interface allowing you to access the _internal_ ACPI
representation of devices directly and you can use that to set up the platform
to use the device for wakeup even if the device level mechanism doesn't work
or is not implemented for it (like in your case).

IOW, the /proc/acpi/wakeup thing only tells us if the device is forced to do
the wakeup at the low level and it only takes the ACPI aspect of the wakeup
into account, which may not be sufficient.  For exmaple, network adapters
(and other PCI devices) generally need to have the PME signaling enabled
in addition to the platform setup and the chip has to be enabled to take
wakeup packets from the network.

If /proc/acpi/wakeup shows "enabled" this means "turn on the wakeup power
for this devices and enable its wakeup GPE unconditionally before suspend".
If it shows "disabled", it means "leave that to someone else" (that's analogous
to the "on" and "auto" settings for devices/.../power/control, but the names
are misleading for historical reasons).

So, it looks like we need a counterpart of pci_enable_wake() for PNP devices. 

I guess it's better to invite Dmitry into the discussion at this point.
