After some investigation it seems that we can configure wake-up events
for almost every GPIO from the padconfigs. There are only 2 pins that do
not seem to have this functionality, however I am not sure if this is a
documentation bug or what because it is strange that only 2 pins lack
this capability. GPIOs 32 and 187 are missing wake-up capability from
padconfig.

Because of this, our proposal would be to make GPIO clock switching
global, but this would be enabled from a sysfs entry pretty much like
how it is in the patches now. However, this would be separated from UART
clock switching. So, we would introduce two new sysfs files:
uart_clocks_off_while_idle and gpio_clocks_off_while_idle. This would
avoid introducing new complexity in to the idle loop.

How does this sound like?
