I see the problem, the kernel_can_power_off() checks whether power-off handler is registered, but it's always registered because legacy_pm_power_off is registered unconditionally. So it causes trouble for platforms that don't have power-off handler installed at all. All platforms that I tested have a power-off handler, so now wonder that I didn't notice this before.

Great! I'll send the proper patch soon.
