Agreed, PSCI is the prefer method for power off on ARM64 I think.

I agree. Actually we already removed ACPI power off code for ARM64
in v9 and v10 regardless the ACPI sepc statement about S5, I just want to
confirm with Rafael that how to use ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE_ONLY properly
to do the same thing as we do in v10 (patch - ACPI / sleep: Introduce
CONFIG_ACPI_GENERIC_SLEEP), or if we have some other way to do that :)
Thanks
