What have you tried to check whether some other kind of ACPI event
is happening?
Do any acpi/SCI interrupts happen?:
watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts |grep acpi"

Could it by chance be an EC or other device GPE/SCI?

Why is calling NTFY needed?

What are the suspend/resume funcs for?
What bad things happen without them?
