Double tap to wake optionality

Hello!

Most of touchscreens has ability to jump into low power mode and get woken up by 
gesture (such as double tap).

I wonder about suggestion what property should drivers use to implement this 
policy where driver doesn't have to jump into low-power mode but completely 
power-off (and save battery). My thinking was something such as

/sys/class/input/inputX/gesture_to_wake
(while gesture sounds a bit weird, it seems that TS are capable to recognize 
different patterns, not only double-tap).
