This seems to also depend on I2C and OF. Perhaps I2C_TEGRA and
ARCH_TEGRA_2x_SOC imply that, but it could lead to build failures with
COMPILE_TEST=y. 
Hello, Lubomir! You're right about the I2C because it could be compiled
as a loadable module, good catch! The OF seems should fine as-is.

If this is only used for power_off, please rename it. I've been told to
do so in my driver: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200519104933.GX271301@dell/ (local)
I don't mind to rename the variable, but not sure whether it will be a
worthwhile change since _scratch is also a common naming scheme among
MFD drivers. Please see max77620_scratch for example, which I added
about a year ago.
If something is used once, it does not make it 'common'.

Not sure how this slipped my notice before, but I don't like it.

Ensure any global struct used for power_off only includes items
required for this purpose.  It's unfortunate this API requires a
global variable at all.
