Can we go for upstream with v7 without tps65219_soft_shutdown. Then if 
everyone agrees with Andrew proposal, I'll submit a separate patch which 
adds implementation of tps65219_soft_shutdown support through sys-off 
handler.

So that we are not blocking upstream in case further 
discussions/alignment are required.
