I am looking to fully power down a battery backed beaglebone black running 
debian distro.

Looking through the TRM and TPS65217 document it appears that I can power 
device OFF (as opposed to SLEEP) by setting bit 7 in TPS65217 Status 
register and then causing PWE_EN pin to go low.

Only way (under software control) that I can see to do this is via setting 
ALARM2 in RTC registers and setting POWER_ENABLE_EN bit (also referred to 
in 
thread 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/beagleboard/PMIC_POWER_EN/beagleboard/K7DuusrJ6G4/ln4so6f0Vj4J)

Makes sense, i2c control of TPS65217 is easy but I don't see how to write 
to RTC registers from user space.

I'd appreciate any pointers - is it possible using device tree overlay, as 
I see promising looking end points in /sys/devices/ocp.3/44e3e000.rtc/power

Thanks
Colin
