So I've only found this so far. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/mfd/tps65217.c#L222-#L229
Which I pretty much had already figured out this morning right after I posted. Pretty much, the PMIC sees a condition, that needs attention. It writes some values to registers that relate to the given condition, and then sends an NMI out to the am335x processor. Where the am335x processor immediately picks up that the PMIC needs attention( the whole point of an NMI ), reads the register values out of the PMIC to determine what action needs to be taken. Which in the case of the power button being pressed. the am335x issues a shutdown now -h ( Linux ) Which looking at the code, actually seems like the LKM is actually writing to the PMIC registers to do this ?! Anyway, no idea how a power good condition is being acted on *still*. Meaning, no idea how when a battery is connected, when the external power somehow goes missing. How that particular shutdown is happening, and from where.
