just reply both replies in the same mail
1.) the power-off device is a part of rtc, use the same registers rtc
has and thus it is put as child nodes under the node rtc to reflect the
reality of characteristics the rtc has.
Or am I wrong for a certain aspect in these opinions?
2) the other sub-functions for the same pmic already created its own
dt-binding document belonged to its corresponding subsystem. Don't we
really want to follow it them all?
