Thank you for finally adding support for one of the functions of the
hardware!

The description sounds misleading here: At the moment, you only add
support for poweroff, not for system suspend.

Maybe leave out the description about the RTC and power savings here
and only describe the bits that the driver actually implements. Can you
add some text to the patch changelog to describe what your plans are
for supporting suspend mode, and clarify which functions are implemented
already, compared to those that are possible in hardware but not part
of this patch series?

'standby' mode usually refers to 'suspend-to-ram' mode, which is something
the driver does not (yet) support. Can you clarify whether that means you
want to add it later, or you just used the wrong term here?

Again, the names here seem misleading: in power management terms,
's1' and 's3' typically refer to types of system power saving modes that
are different from power-off or suspend-to-disk. Maybe try to use less
confusing terms here?

This looks like you are writing individual bits into a shared
clock/reset controller that is part of the SoC. If this is the case,
it would be better to make that a separate driver that owns
the moon0_regs registers and exposes them through the
clk and reset subsystem interfaces (drivers/clk, drivers/reset).

The power-off logic should probably be a separate driver in drivers/power/reset/
that calls into the common driver.
