There are only a few ACPI commits directly related to power management
between 4.16 and 4.17 and none of them looks particularly suspicious.

It looks like the power button state may not be cleared sufficiently
after it's been pressed which is now visible for some reason.

How does the button poweroff work, exactly?  I guess the event is
collected by a user space demon which then triggers power of via sysfs
or similar?

Thanks,
Rafael
