Debian on Lenovo ix2-dl

This device is similar to some ZyXEL devices (NSA325v2 / NSA310s / NSA320s)
so it has similar issues (power off)
This is why I gave away my first device last year.
A view months ago I noticed that this issue is gone since Kernel 4.8 on other devices, let's try on this device too.
I also noticed that there was introduced a new DTB in Kernel 4.10 for the, I think similar device "Lenovo ix2-ng".

Because this U-Boot doesn't know about DTBs I had to append it.

Note: you can also use the ix2-200 one but with this you get strange NAND error messages, sensors were not working and with the new device .. no serial output after the kernel is loaded.
so we will proceed with the ix2-ng DTB:

Now I tried to power the device off to see whats happening:

ok .. no error messages but the fan is still running and the device is still consuming power confirmed with different kernel versions

Edit

with the 4.4.0 rootfs and 4.11.3 kernel .. poweroff seems to work completely .. perhaps this is systemd related ..

working on debian stretch too, see here
