Can you please change that? And how about have just one section of comments then the entry for ti,pmic-shutdown-controller? Or maybe something like this: /* * Configure pmic to enter OFF-state instead of SLEEP-state ("RTC-only * mode") at poweroff. Most BeagleBone versions do not support RTC-only * .... */ &tps { ti,pmic-shutdown-controller; regulators { ... }; ... }; Also, if this is needed as a fix for the mainline kernel to avoid hardware damage, please let me know too ASAP.
