Still it's better than a disfunctional hardware :)

I don't have hardware which uses the wake-gpio in order to test that it
works properly, hence wanted to keep it minimal. But indeed sounds like
toggling the GPIO in suspend/resume should be okay to do. Alright, I'll
improve it in the v3. Thank you!
