Sure, then you can probably make an MFD which is the proper way of
register one device in multiple susbsytems. I just happened to give a
talk on that topic:

Yeah, I'm guessing this is the correct API, people usually use
halt/poweroff/shutdown/reboot which should all end up calling the reboot
system call.
