Your guess is correct. The controller gets shut down in

  kernel_power_off()
    kernel_shutdown_prepare()
      device_shutdown()

but the PMIC communication needs to happen later in

  kernel_power_off()
    machine_power_off()
      pm_power_off()

Yes, this is exactly the right approach. The whole sunxi_rsb_shutdown()
function should be removed. When you send a patch, please add a Fixes:
tag referencing the commit that you bisected to.
