Ah, good point. I'll make sure that's added and will wait to see hear if
there's any other feedback.

I am trying to test the paths by faking out PS capabilities, and have
a question on how to force each:

Running "rtcwake -m freeze ...", that takes the !pm_suspend_via_firmware()
path as I expected.

But trying to test the original path, I thought using "-m mem" would
have been a suspend via firmware, but that is still returning false.

Is that expected? I've only tried this on one platform so far, so might
just be this particular one is missing a firmware capability.
