The 88W8897 PCIe+USB card in the hardware revision 20 apparently has a hardware issue where the card wakes up from deep sleep randomly and very often, somewhat depending on the card activity, maybe the hardware has a floating wakeup pin or something. This was found by comparing two MS Surface Book 2 devices, where one devices wifi card experienced spurious wakeups, while the other one didn't. Those continuous wakeups prevent the card from entering host sleep when the computer suspends. And because the host won't answer to events from the card anymore while it's suspended, the firmwares internal power saving state machine seems to get confused and the card can't sleep anymore at all after that. Since we can't work around that hardware bug in the firmware, let's get the hardware revision string from the firmware and match it with known bad revisions. Then disable auto deep sleep for those revisions, which makes sure we no longer get those spurious wakeups.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
