I completly agree about adding a unified and generic property for that purpose.
I already proposed something for that on devicetree ML, see the thread
"Proposal: generic property for system-power-controller".
Unfortunately I did not get replies :) .

Yes, I really don't understand where the problem is. I use good emacs
settings to be compatible with kernel coding style and git diff does

Sorry because this is a very boring issue when reviewing patches... I
will investigate ^^
