[PATCH v3 1/3] power: Add simple poweroff-gpio driver

[Andrew Lunn]

Hi Jason

These are good comments from Stephan that i want to address. However,
i also don't want to delay the pull-requests direction arm-soc, the
merge window is getting close. Both Linus and Anton have Acked the
current version, so please go with what you have and i will produce a
patch over the top. If its available before Arnd pulls, you can squash
it, otherwise send it upstream as a standalone patch.

    Thanks
	Andrew
