This means that acpi_device_can_poweroff() needs to be updated.  What about
like this:

static inline bool acpi_device_can_poweroff(struct acpi_device *adev)
{
	return adev->power.states[ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD].flags.valid
		|| adev->power.states[ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT].flags.explicit_set;
}

Thanks,
Rafael
