Hi Geert,

Many thanks for looking at this.

My thinking was:  this device is a PMIC and it will power the system. So when
the device is turned off, the S/W will also not be running.

Although my assumption only works if the PMIC device is the primary system
power -- this has always been the case so far. And although I don't have any
evidence this will change, it may become untrue in the future of course.

So, I have not been able to make any time to test this patch yet -- and with
current workloads this might take a bit of time before I get to it.
