I am not sure if that's really the case. I only see power key value to
be reported as follows:

input_report_key(pwrkey->input, pwrkey->code, 1);
                    or
input_report_key(pwrkey->input, pwrkey->code, 0);

It's not like a press event being a rising edge (0->1) or a release
event being a falling edge (1->0) reported. AFAICS, a reboot is issued
whenever the value of power key is reported as "1".

As of now there isn't such a use-case for the HMIBSC board.
