That's not the point.  The problem is that it shouldn't abort suspend
when events_check_enabled is unset.

Yes, it will, if the event has already been reported by the subsystem or driver.

I don't think it's a very big issue and I'm not sure trying to avoid it is
worth the effort (we can check if the device's wakeup source object is active
and skip reporting the wakeup event in that case, but that doesn't guarantee
that the event won't be counted twice anyway).

Thanks,
Rafael
