[PATCH v1 02/10] dt-bindings: Document the standard property "system-power-controller"

[Romain Perier]

If this is possible, that's probably better to drop all these patches
(including poweroff-source) from "next", in this way it will be
possible to re-do things properly from scratch (with the new name).

If you have a look at linux-next the property "poweroff-source" is
already used by tps910 AND act8865, I don't like that (it is not used
yet by dts files). I mean, I don't really want to support
"vendor,system-power-controller", "system-power-controller" and
"poweroff-source" from "of_has_system_power_source" and do a lot of
unclean commits in order to don't break compatibility. Just keep
things simple.

What do you think ?
