The description for the property that Krzysztof mentioned is
  samsung,s2mps11-acokb-ground:
    description: |
      Indicates that ACOKB pin of S2MPS11 PMIC is connected to the ground so
      the PMIC must manually set PWRHOLD bit in CTRL1 register to turn off the
      power. Usually the ACOKB is pulled up to VBATT so when PWRHOLD pin goes
      low, the rising ACOKB will trigger power off.

In other words, I am asking what (abnormal?) scenario there is that means
you need the property, rather than what setting the property does.
Or am I totally off, and this is the only way this PMIC works?

Cheers,
Conor.
