What evidence do you have that there is actually a "press" event being
received by userspace? Did you tested this with evtest or something
similar?

If a "power button press" is generated, than I imagine that a userspace
process must receive it and halt the system, right?

The PMIC also has a feature to shutdown in case detect a long key-press,
which is controlled by the mediatek,long-press-mode device-tree
property.
So is it the pmic that shutdown your board (probably no evidence in
logs, just a "power cut" behaviour) or is it userspace?

If the driver is an issue, can't we blacklist it from being probed
instead? or do you want to use the home key feature that that same
driver provides?

Hope that helps,
