OK, if the property was specific to the hardware, then I would propose
something more hardware-related, e.g. "reset-supply-tied". However :

It seems it is common problem. LEDs have property
"retain-state-shutdown", to indicate that during system shutdown we
should not touch them (like power off). Would some variant be applicable
here? First, do we talk here about power off like system shutdown or
runtime PM, thus suspend?
