/sys/power/wakeup_timer_seconds how about this?
I think it is a freescale generic interface, this interface control by
FSL_SOC && SUSPEND.

It lists all wake up source. If later have wakeup source can be improved by
it to control. Buttons event wakeup source will be added after the timer.

Yes, thanks. Change to FSL_MPIC_TIMER_WAKEUP.

Thanks, I think i should add comments. Let this patch easy to read.
Here is get a new timer.
If the new time is zero, consider that has been checked.

if (!time.tv_sec) {...} this is check zero.
The "mpic_request_timer" before this code.
