Thanks for your patch, which is now commit f0f7e5265b3b37b0
("m68k: Switch to new sys-off handler API") upstream.

Unfortunately nothing is registered, as this is called very early
(from setup_arch(), before the memory allocator is available.
Hence register_sys_off_handler() fails with -ENOMEM, and poweroff
stops working.

Possible solutions:
  - As at most one handler can be registered,
    register_platform_power_off() could use a static struct sys_off_handler
    instance,
  - Keep mach_power_off, and call register_platform_power_off() later.

Anything else?
Thanks!

This must have the same problem.
