++Info: Drives a GPIO high or low on poweroff (including halt). Using this
++ overlay interferes with the normal power-down sequence, preventing the
++ kernel from resetting the SoC (a necessary step in a normal power-off

++ Users of this overlay are required to provide an external mechanism to
++ switch off the power supply when signalled - failure to do so results
++ in a kernel BUG, increased power consumption and undefined behaviour.
