This simply renames the previous documentation to something more generic and adds
updates according to last changes.

+* Generic system power control capability
+
+Power-management integrated circuits or miscellaneous harware components are
+sometimes able to control the system power. The device driver associated to these
+components might needs to define this capability, which tells to the kernel
+how to switch off the system. The corresponding driver must have the standard
+property "system-power-controller" in its device node. This property marks the device as
+able to controller the system-power. In order to test if this property is found
+programmatically, use the helper function "of_is_system_power_controller" from
+of.h .
+
+Example:
+
+act8846: act8846@5 {
+	 compatible = "active-semi,act8846";
+	 status = "okay";
+	 system-power-controller;
+}
there is no mention here that system-power-controller superseeds
poweroff-source and deprecates that.
