Hi Rob,

That H/W controlled shutdown is not covered in the device driver because
it is defaulted by the hardware PMIC.
The DA9063 OnKey has are four modes of operation -- and one of them is
a H/W controlled shutdown (to reset a hung system). Holding down the
OnKey for a "long-long" key-press, if there is no software intervention,
then the PMIC will chop the power.
The other three modes are ...
(a) Short key press
(b) Long-key press
(c) Long-long key press
These modes *are* handled by the S/W driver.
(a) The short key-press being the usual sleep/suspend.
(b) Long key press is the KEY_POWER (bringing up a dialog on Android to ask if
the user wants to shutdown the device) -- this is the one that can be disabled
by the device tree binding.
(c) Long-long key press -- this is the software equivalent to the H/W shutdown
for a hung system. Instead of the hardware pulling the plug, the software sends
a command to tell the PMIC to pull the plug.
If that last one sounds like a repeat of the H/W shutdown, then that is because
it almost is.
It covers the use case when the user decides to shutdown their device by doing
a long-long key press. The difference here is that the software is still able to
respond, and so there is space for any important house-keeping (say to save
important data) before the software sends a command to tell the PMIC to pull
the plug.
The fail-safe at this point is: if the S/W really isn't responding, then the hardware
monitors the long-long key-press and if there is no intervention by software, the
PMIC pulls the power plug 1 second later.
Regards,
Steve
