ok, so it seems like it takes more than 1 second for things to
propagate. If I increase that mdelay() to 3000, then everything works
fine on my end. I think we should get RMK's input on this 3000ms delay
to machine_power_off(). Should it be generic, or should we add it to our
rtc pm_power_off implementation ?
