mmm ... now I am puzzled....why do you need extra custom state since
this behaviour just sounds like the normal SYSTEM_POWER notification
graceful shutdown request (that can carry a platform timeout)...

...some other agents requested a shutdown so Linuux get a notification
SYSTEM_POWER(shutdown) with possibly timeout advised by the platform to
complete the shutdown...then scmi_power_control existing upstream driver
issues a orderly_poweroff (which carries out an emergency_sync) and then
finally userspace can do whatever it wants hooking its own shutdown-callbacks
into whatever pid_1 process it has...if all of this exceeds the advised
timeout for a graceful shutdown Linux will just force-shutdown without
waiting futher for userspace shutdown-callbacks to complete...

so wqhat do you need more than this to justify a new custom vendor
system_power state AND a dedicated driver other than scmi_power_control
IF you really have just to shutdown based on some SYSTEM_POWER
notification sent by the platform when some  other agents decided to
shutdown ?

Thanks,
Cristian
