IMHO that rather depends upon what knows the right things to do. The
platform may know the right way to manage GPIO pins but it may also be
that only the driver knows because the correct suspended pin states
depend on the driver or on the current runtime configuration - eg if a
specific GPIO must be left enabled for wakeup to work then it depends
whether that device is active not on the platform level properties.
