That's not how upstream kernel development works... Your code has
nothing for Exynos. It's Android driver, not Exynos. If you say there is
something for Exynos it must be visible here. Wakelocks are not relevant
to Exynos, so after dropping them there would be empty stub in upstream
kernel which obviously cannot be accepted.
