-* Generic Poweroff capability
+* Generic system power control capability
-Power-management integrated circuits or miscellaneous harware components are
-sometimes able to control the system power. The device driver associated to these
-components might needs to define poweroff capability, which tells to the kernel
-how to switch off the system. The corresponding driver must have the standard
-property "poweroff-source" in its device node. This property marks the device as
-able to shutdown the system. In order to test if this property is found
-programmatically, use the helper function "of_system_has_poweroff_source" from
-of.h .
