Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 0e2110d2e910e44c
("kernel/reboot: Add kernel_can_power_off()") in pm/linux-next.

This causes the "poweroff" command (Debian nfsroot) to no longer
cleanly halt the system on arm32 systems, but fail with a panic
instead:

-reboot: System halted
+reboot: Power down
+Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000

On arm64, "poweroff" causes a clean "reboot: Power down" before/after.

On both arm32 and arm64, the same handlers are registered:
- SYS_OFF_MODE_POWER_OFF_PREPARE: legacy_pm_power_off_prepare
- SYS_OFF_MODE_POWER_OFF: legacy_pm_power_off

On both arm32 and arm64, legacy_pm_power_off_prepare() is called.
On both arm32 and arm64, legacy_pm_power_off() does not seem to
be called.

On arm32, both pm_power_off_prepare and pm_power_off are NULL.
On arm64, pm_power_off_prepare is NULL, and
pm_power_off is psci_sys_poweroff.

Do you have a clue?
Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
