It does not fix any existing bugs.

On the other hand, I have just submitted a separate patch adding 
remote-wakeup support for PNP devices (i8042 keyboard ports in 
particular) that depends on this one.  If you consider not waking up 
from suspend when keys are typed to be a bug, then the two patches 
together (plus a third that enables remote wakeup for the keyboard 
port by default) would count as a bug fix.

Or to put it differently, I'm waffling.  :-)
