Hmm, it might be nice to reword this, as this being a "workaround" for the 
radxarock is a bit "short sighted".

The act8846 simply provides means to reset the system when used as main pmic 
[hence the reliance on the system-power-controller] and other socs/boards 
using it as pmic might also profit from exposing this function - for example if 
there is no other means of reset.

The act8846 is currently the only one of the three types providing such 
functionality, so until the second chip variant surfaces that provides a reset 
capability, it might be less intrusive to simply do

	regmap_write(act8846->regmap, ACT8846_GLB_OFF_CTRL, ACT8846_SIPC_MASK);

here and skip all the infrastructure like sipc_reg and sipc_mask assignment 
and handling? But I guess that is Mark's call what he likes better.

structs like the restart_handler normally live near the function they 
reference and not as static part of some function. And as the restart 
functionality is not rockchip-specific, it should also not be named 
rockchip_foo as below ;-)

static struct notifier_block act8846_restart_handler = {
	.notifier_call = act8846_power_cycle,
	.priority = 129,
};

no need to add a second check for of_device_is_system_power_controller() as we 
already have a check for this property directly above, simply extend it with 
something like the following.

if (of_device_is_system_power_controller(dev->of_node)) {
	int ret;

	/* already existing code to set poweroff handler */

	if (type == ACT8846) {
		ret = register_restart_handler(&act8846_restart_handler);
		if (ret)
		pr_err("%s: cannot register restart handler, %d\n",
		       __func__, ret);
	}
}
