Not sure why the customer didn't follow reference design, since PMIC_ON_REQ can
provide power off/on feature by pressing ONOFF key which connected ONOFF
pin of i.mx6(ONOFF will toggle PMIC_ON_REQ to power off/on PMIC). The official
power off/on way (PMIC_ON_REQ) can also power off all power rails of PFUZE
except
snvs as your patch did on PMIC_STBY_REQ. PMIC_STBY_REQ is used to notify pmic
switch power mode (PFM/APS) or decrease voltage to save power in kernel suspend,
not power off....I am not sure if we need this patchset to 'workaround' the
board issue.

Your board can't support wakeup by RTC alarm if not use PMIC_ON_REQ to power
off.
Again, why your board not follow the design guide?
