In general, wakeup settings are not supposed to be changed during any of the system wide PM phases. The reason is simply that it would break guarantees provided by the PM core, to properly act on active wakeup sources. However, there are exceptions to when, in particular, disabling a device as wakeup source makes sense. For example, in cases when a driver realizes that its device is dead during system suspend. For these scenarios, we don't need to care about acting on the wakeup source correctly, because a dead device shouldn't deliver wakeup signals. To this reasoning and to help users to properly manage wakeup settings, let's print a warning in cases someone calls device_wakeup_enable() during system sleep. Suggested-by: Rafael J.
