It is not only called for S5 (entered via poweroff on a prompt) but also during kexec or reboot. The poweroff path is via: kernel_power_off() -> kernel_shutdown_prepare() -> device_shutdown() -> .shutdown() For kexec or reboot we do not really care about power savings since we are about to load a new image anyway, however for S5/poweroff we do care about quiescing the eMMC controller in a way that its clocks and the eMMC device can be put into low power mode since we will stay in that mode for seconds/hours/days until someone presses a button on their remote (or other wake-up sources). -- Florian
