I realize that. This is why I suggested a solution which a knowledgeable 
person might possibly write in few minutes (adding an option to a script?) 
and not for example a board modification, which would add to effort and 
cost.

Very likely, but this is about a third time when I write in this thread 
that I found a solution for myself (unplug an USB cable). Otherwise, I 
would add some statement to one of the shutdown script, but given how the 
Linux startup system is complex today, I doubt the fast fix would be on par 
with that made by a Linux professional. Or that the additional possibility 
would become a part of your FAQ etc.

Sometimes (very often?) users report an issue to help the developers, and 
not to demand anything from them.

They do this e.g. out of gratitude.
