Use devm_register_sys_off_handler() that allows to register multiple
power-off handlers.
This can be enabled by adding "st,pmic-poweroff" to device-tree.

Just reading this description, this is sounding quite like a "software
behaviour" type of property, which are not permitted, rather than
describing some element of the hardware. Clearly you are trying to solve
an actual problem though, so try re-phrasing the description (and
property name) to focus on what exact hardware configuration it is that
you are trying to special-case.
Krzysztof suggested that the samsung,s2mps11-acokb-ground property in
samsung,s2mps11.yaml is addressing a similar problem, so that could be
good to look at.
Also, the dt-binding patch should go before the patch adding the
property to the driver.
Thanks,
Conor.

Better wording?
Indicates that the power management IC (PMIC) is used to power off the board.
So as the last step in the power off sequence set the SWOFF bit in the
main control register (MAIN_CR) register, to shutdown all power rails.

The description for the property that Krzysztof mentioned is
samsung,s2mps11-acokb-ground:
description: |
Indicates that ACOKB pin of S2MPS11 PMIC is connected to the ground so
the PMIC must manually set PWRHOLD bit in CTRL1 register to turn off the
power. Usually the ACOKB is pulled up to VBATT so when PWRHOLD pin goes
low, the rising ACOKB will trigger power off.
In other words, I am asking what (abnormal?) scenario there is that means
you need the property, rather than what setting the property does.
Or am I totally off, and this is the only way this PMIC works?
Cheers,
Conor.

Indicates that the power management IC (PMIC) turn-off condition is met
by setting the SWOFF bit in the main control register (MAIN_CR) register.
Turn-off condition can still be reached by the PONKEY input.
?
I must admit I’m somewhat lost here :)

Sorry about that. I'm trying to understand what is different about your
hardware that it needs the property rather than what adding the property
does. If you look at the samsung one, it describes both the
configuration of the hardware ("ACOKB pin of S2MPS11 PMIC is connected to
the ground") and how that is different from normal ("Usually the ACOKB is
pulled up to VBATT so when PWRHOLD pin goes low, the rising ACOKB will
trigger power off.")
Looking at your datasheet, you don't have such a pin though - just the
sw poweroff bit & the PONKEY stuff. My angle is just that I am trying
to figure out why you need this property when it has not been needed
before. Or why you would not always want to "shutdown all power rails
when power-off sequence have finished". I'm sorry if these are silly
questions.

No silly questions, maybe they trick me to come up with the correct answer :D
Basically without this, you won’t be able to power off the system
other than hitting the PONKEY.
So it’s a new feature that wasn’t supported before.
Maybe this feature should not be optional?
If st,pmic-poweroff == true:
System will power off as the last step in the power off sequence.
If st,pmic-powerof == false:
System will reboot in the last step in the power off sequence.
I thought of this, as an always on system failsafe.

Yeah, I suppose that is the rabbit-hole that the silly questions lead
down. I don't know the answer to that though. Maybe Lee does?

You are still describing what driver should do with registers. What you
are missing is describing real cause for this. It's exactly the same
case as was with s2mps11.

I didn’t mention anything with registers in the patch:
if present, configure the PMIC to shutdown all power rails when
power off sequence have finished.
Use this option if the SoC should be powered off by external power management
IC (PMIC).
^^ That’s is exactly what is happening if the option is enabled.
Do you have a suggestion wording?
What do you think about removing this option and make it default behaviour?

Again - you write what the driver should do ("configure the PMIC") when
something in Linux happens ("power off sequence have finished"). Exactly
the same case as s2mps11. Look how it was worded there. You need to find
the real cause, why such actions are required on which board.
Otherwise it does not warrant DT property and just perform it always.
Best regards,
Krzysztof

Yeah, Sean asked that a few messages back up [1] & having looked at the
datasheet I am kinda struggling to see why you would not just always
want to do this. There does not seem to be an equivalent pin in this
PMIC as your Samsung one, so this patch isn't working around some
flaw in a board design, but rather seems to be looking to implement the
actual functionality.
I vote for do it always, obviously unless Less disagrees, and if that
causes problems we can revisit the dt property with more understanding
of whatever use case breaks if this is done unilaterally.
Cheers,
Conor.
