Interestingly I tried to find usage of this key in the kernel, and
found that the macsmc-reboot driver has a "enter_atomic" operation.

I don't know whether it's a overdesign.

The imx_rproc driver even creates its own PREPARE handler that "setup
mailbox to non-blocking mode".

Maybe it's better to replicate the behavior of macsmc / imx_rproc in
the AON driver?

I don't know whether such a handler is necessary when the real power
operation is done in PREPARE handler. The odroid-go-ultra-poweroff
driver, which also (ab?)uses PREPARE handler for powering off, doesn't
register a non-PREPARE handler.
