I'm kind of surprised a scheme like this didn't involve a FW call
after Linux is done with the CPUs to quiet all the HW and let it
sleep, I've built things that way before at least.
That's a *lot* of code to put in firmware if you can't physically power
most of the system down.
Maybe? The chip I worked on we just made a list of register/value
pairs that covered all the functional blocks and the FW ran down the
list.

Mind you the chip was designed that poking ABC to reg 123 turned the
unit off no matter what. It didn't have a complex interactive shutdown
sequence.
