Thanks for explaining your use case. Is the DT really the right place to
describe this? In the hardware, this is just a button that provides both
press and release events. Linux typically forwards these events to user
space, without interpreting them in any way. This means you likely have
some user space component that listens to the events (e.g. systemd
logind). Ideally that component should be reconfigured to trigger the
reboot on release instead of press.

If you hardcode this behavior in the DT you are essentially describing
that the hardware is incapable of detecting the press event before the
release event. This is not the case, right? There may be use cases where
someone would still want to detect the key press (rather than just
release).

Thanks,
Stephan
