On Pixel C, shutdown must be handled by the MAX77620 PMIC rather
than the PSCI SYSTEM_OFF call, whose firmware implementation is:

__dead2 void tegra_system_off(void)
{
ERROR("Tegra System Off: operation not handled.\n");
panic();
}

Ugh... sounds very familiar. We have similar stub implementations on
Jetson TX1 and/or Nano, if I remember correctly. Luckily newer platforms
seem to have proper implementations for these.

Yes, on my TX1 I was encountering the same problem. However in that case
is it possible to update the firmware with a proper implementation?

I tried, but there were complications, both technical and logistical
because of the point in the product lifecycle. At this point I don't
think it will happen, unfortunately.

Ah, I see. Then in that case this approach seems like a viable option
for those platforms :)
