No. TWL4030 is a companion chip for the OMAP3 processor. It provides
miscellaneous functionality, e.g.:

* RTC
* Watchdog
* Regulators
* Keypad Matrix
* USB
* Audio
* Vibrator
* GPIO
* ...

One part of the functionality is the power button. The patch
assumes, that the twl4030-pwrbutton node is used as follows:

twl {
/* ... common stuff ... */

pwrbutton {
compatible = "ti,twl4030-pwrbutton";
interrupts = <8>;
};
};
