I can clarify that bit a little - basically, when the handler is registered
as a poweroff prepare handler, the kernel thinks that the C201 cannot poweroff
and converts the poweroff into a halt, so I assume the
power_off_handler_list is empty - which makes sense, the C201 has no firmware
to call or other poweroff methods that I'd be aware of.
(See kernel/reboot.c line 746 and 683.) 

Anyways, this patch works on the C201 (tested on top of 6.11-rc1).
