Please CC the DT maintainers for all DT binding changes.

The name is pretty backward. You're supposed to describe a property of
the system, not instruct what SW should do.

What about something like "powered-off-on-suspend"?

Also, does this apply to the GIC? The ITS? The whole thing? Does it
make sense to treat them independently? (hint: probably).

I don't think we need another full example of the binding.
