of_restart_poweroff_match now seems to be disconnected from the
driver.

kirkwood-linkstation.dtsi:		compatible = "restart-poweroff";
kirkwood-lsxl.dtsi:		compatible = "restart-poweroff";
orion5x-linkstation.dtsi:		compatible = "restart-poweroff";
orion5x-lswsgl.dts:		compatible = "restart-poweroff";

How do these devices get this driver loaded?

This appears to be another reason to NACK it.
