Indeed, sounds like we can remove the SLP bit-clearing safely. IIUC,
both tps65910 and tps65911 are nearly the same in regards to the
power-off programming, tps65911 only supports an additional (sequential)
power-off mode.

I'm not sure whether we've tried to remove the SLP bit-clearing before,
will be interesting to try.

It enables the "sequential power-off, reverse of power-on sequence",
like datasheet says. I think it works and we actually need that PWR_OFF
bit to be set separately, before setting the DEV_OFF bit.

I'll add a clarifying comment about it in v3, thank you for the suggestions.
