Assuming your patch to disable the partial shutdown lands, then:

Reviewed-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

...if that patch doesn't land (or if someone disagrees with me and
thinks we need an extra property to disable the partial shutdown) then
we would need the example to be different. Because of that, maybe
this should be appended to the end of your series which includes the
patch to disable partial shutdown?
