That's expected (see below). It works with v3.18-rc1 vanilla because
machine_halt is called instead of machine_power_off as there is no
registered power-off handler.

As I wrote above, we still need a 2-second mdelay in rtc-omap, which I
intend to add to the pmic_power_en patch.

The one-second delay is there in machine_power_off to catch most cases
which wouldn't take nearly as long as rtc-omap and hence wouldn't be
adding an explicit delay in the driver power-off handler.
