Or is that out of scope as well ?
Something like "The platform can be powered off via the poweroff signal" would be OK. So long as it's not a description of Linux internals that's fine. Ideally the binding wouldn't state how the OS should use the device either. So if bindings can be worded w.r.t. possible uses of a device rather than specific users, that would be preferable unless the entire point of the binding is to specify a very specific use.
