Here's a version that attempts to address Tony's earlier request to
include some comments in the patch itself. Since I saw no way to
concisely summarize the issues, I included links to relevant messages
(and enough info to locate the thread again in case of link rot).

Since the patch itself contains more explanation, I made the commit
message more concise.

Apologies for the attachment (inline text would get fucked up by gmail)

Ah finally you got around doing a proper patch :)

Hmm no ideas about that, I guess people are using gmail to send email
with smtps though?

Linux usually does not use the // style comments.. Can you please change
that? And how about have just one section of comments then the entry
for ti,pmic-shutdown-controller? Or maybe something like this:

	/*
	 * Configure pmic to enter OFF-state instead of SLEEP-state ("RTC-only
	 * mode") at poweroff.  Most BeagleBone versions do not support RTC-only
	 * ....
	 */
	&tps {
		ti,pmic-shutdown-controller;

		regulators {
			...
		};
		...
	};

Also, if this is needed as a fix for the mainline kernel to avoid hardware
damage, please let me know too ASAP.

Regards,

Tony

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: am335x-bone* enable pmic-shutdown-controller

Fixes: http://bugs.elinux.org/issues/143

Avoid entering "RTC-only mode" at poweroff. It is unsupported by most
versions of BeagleBone, and risks hardware damage.
