This patch changes empty output to "unsupported" in order that a user knows
wakeup feature isn't supported by this device when he/she
'cat /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup', please consider to apply,
thanks.

What about simply removing "wakuep" file if wakeup is not supported?

It may not *stay* unsupported, so I think changing it in either
of those permanent ways would be confusing/misleading.

How about changing it to say "unavailable"?  That doesn't imply 
permanence.

This should be an option.
