There are platforms without psci, correct? I think the comment was to
drop the force override with system-power-controller property,

if (!pm_power_off) {
	tps65219_i2c_client = client;
	pm_power_off = &tps65219_pm_power_off;
}

Could still be valid for such platforms, no? I do see that the
capability that the PMIC has - which is software shutdown is a valid
feature that we support in many different PMIC drivers. Is'nt the job of
the driver to introduce the functionality in a manner that is
appropriate to the OS framework?
