I do not quite follow on this.  How does disabling snvs_poweroff fix the
issue?  The root cause of system not shut down properly seems to be that
PMIC doesn't shut down power.  This looks like a clean-up rather than
bug fix.

If you think this is really a bug fix, it should be applied to the file
before renaming rather than the one after renaming.
