[OpenWrt-Devel] [RFC PATCH 2/2] apm821xx: utilize softoff on the MyBook Live Series

[Christian Lamparter]

This was a requested feature on the forum some long time ago.
The original vendor firmware from Western Digital allowed the
device to enter a shutdown-like state and remain there
indefinitely.

Because OpenWrt sets the platform's nowayout watchdog, this
device will reboot after some time even when poweroff gets
called and the kernel supposed to just do its infinite loop
thing.

With this somewhat universal "softoff" the device will be
able to enter a similar-but-different shutdown-like state
with the HDDs in a safer standby mode so it can be moved
and disconnected.
