Hi Tim
I think you end up with the same problem. By the time you need to turn
the power supply off, too much of the kernel is shut down to be able
to use I2C. And if you are in the middle of an Oops, you have no idea
of the current state. Another I2C transaction could be under way etc.
All the current reset drivers are pretty much self contained, atomic
and use KISS hardware like a GPIO.
Maybe you best bet is to see if you can find any other I2C PMICs which
the kernel supports.
Andrew
