Thanks, that clarifies the cause.
Adding Erik and Lv to Cc.

I guess it's the side-effect by removing
acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list(acpi_hw_clear_gpe_block, NULL);
in acpi_hw_disable_all_gpes().

This function is called from acpi_power_off_prepare(), and the machine
goes to power off without clearing the GPEs, hence it's woken up later
unexpectedly.
