Yeah, it was a bit of a shock! No worries, the advice was good! Just
unlucky that the vendor hardware and kernel aren't up to par.

Yeah, I'm guessing that's what is happening. It seems that somehow a
rail for the power controller is being turned off. As the device can't
be woken up with the physical button or a charger about 30 seconds
after boot.

I think for now that's what we are stuck with. It's very difficult to
debug as the device is sealed.

Thanks! Once the battery depleted I managed to get signs of life. Now
I just need to quickly revert to the old device tree :)
