elan_smbus_sleep_control() sends ETP_SMBUS_SLEEP_CMD to put the
controller to sleep, but does nothing on wake, leaving a long-standing
XXX comment questionning wether ETP_SMBUS_ENABLE_TP should be re sent.

elan_initialize() already treats sleep_control(client, false) as a
genuine "wake device up" primitive (see the ASUS special-firmware
branch and its accompanying dev_err() message), so this makes the
non-ASUS/default path resend ETP_SMBUS_ENABLE_TP symetrically with
elan_smbus_initialize() instead of being a no-op.

RFC: I dont have the Elan SMBus protocol datasheet and consequently 
havent been able to test this on any real hardware where the previous no-op
path was actually relied upon. Sending this for testing by
someone with access to affected devices before it is considered for
merge. A bad SMBus write to a sleeping controller could leave it
in a weird state on the wrong firmware revision if unlucky.
