Sending an input event to wake a system does wake it, but userspace picks
up the keypress and processes it.  This isn't the intended behavior as it
causes a suspended system to wake up and then potentially turn off if
userspace is configured to turn off on power button presses.

Instead send a PM wakeup event for the PM core to handle waking the system.

Hmm, we have the same problem on many Bay Trail / Cherry Trail
windows 8 / win10 tablets, so  this has been discussed before and e.g.
Android userspace actually needs the button-press (evdev) event to not
immediately go back to sleep, so a similar patch has been nacked in
the past.

At least for GNOME this has been fixed in userspace by ignoring
power-button events the first few seconds after a resume from suspend.
The default behavior for logind is:

HandlePowerKey=poweroff

Can you share more about what version of GNOME has a workaround?
This was actually GNOME (on Ubuntu 24.04) that I found this issue.

Nonetheless if this is dependent on an Android userspace problem could we
perhaps conditionalize it on CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES?
No it is not only Android, other userspace may want to distinguish
between normal and "dark" resume based on keyboard or other user
activity.

Thanks.
