for power managing micro controller units that are connected
to a board via the UART interface.

+* UART-based PM MCU power off driver
+
+Some devices have a microcontroller controlling the main power
+supply. This microcontroller is connected to UART of the SoC.
+Sending a sequence of characters tells the MCU to turn
+the power off.
+
+The length of the sequence, baud rate and the timeout to process
+the command may vary from device to device.
+
+This driver could be used for WD My Cloud (Marvell SoCs), QNAP
+(Kirkwood and Orion5x SoCs) and Synology NAS devices.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "uart-poweroff"
+- reg: Address and length of the register set for UART
+- clocks: The tclk clock
+- cmd: Array of bytes, the command to send to the MCU
+- baud: Baud rate [75..460800]
+
+Optional properties:
+- byte-delay: A delay after each byte of a command, could be useful
+              for sloppy MCUs [ms], default value is 5
+- timeout: A timeout to wait for the MCU to process the command [ms],
+           default value is 1000
+- override: Boolean flag that indicates if the driver should
+            prioritize itself over any existing power off driver,
+            default behaviour is not to interfere
+
+Example:
+       poweroff@12100 {
+               compatible = "uart-poweroff";
+               reg = <0x12100 0x100>;
+               clocks = <&coreclk 0>;
+               baud = <19200>;
+               cmd = [fa 03 03 01 00 00 fb];
+               status = "okay";
+       };
