Sorry for the late response, I only just noticed this since I wasn't CC'd. This "fix" was not ever Reported-By or Tested-By me as it claims. It is in fact wrong: &rtc { system-power-controller; } needs to be present for every variety of beaglebone (more generally every design with a TPS65217 whose PWR_EN is connected to the PMIC_POWER_EN pin of an AM335x). Without a system-power-controller, the kernel has no way of turning off the system and shutdown will leave the system halted instead. The previously posted fix, which added &tps { ti,pmic-shutdown-controller; } was correct, and ensures that a poweroff makes the pmic enter "OFF-state" rather than "SLEEP-state" (aka RTC-only sleep).
