Well as Werner described, if AUX is only pressed for a few ms, something
BAD can happen and we crash.  But if it is pressed long enough to get
through steppingstone, then it is not critical if it is still held down
when Linux comes.  All that will happen then is we are not sure about
wake source, but we are still properly resumed and doing whatever it is
we were doing again.

No need for it to affect anything, whether it does or not Werner can know.

Wake starts in U-Boot again like a cold reset, but very early if it sees
it is waking from suspend, it jumps to "magic address" of Linux resume
stuff in RAM that Linux stored into a special CPU register that survives
no core power.  So not much happens to be different during wake in
U-Boot path.  Still Werner is right logically there are two diverged
chunks of code there and logically they can differ for whatever reason.

| Yup, we are doing software-able hardware ;)

Nobody told this to the guy that did the AUX key -> NOR design ;-)
