This is a non-upstreamable workaround. What we do is pretend this UEFI implementation cannot do things like reset and poweroff. In turn, the operating system may fallback to any other method. Which for Linux is true.

Reminder that the goal of this project is to make the life of the end-user easier, by providing user experiences fixes. This is a user-experience fix, considering that without this boards hangs.
This is extremely important for the Pinebook Pro, as if powerd-off via UEFI, it will continue chewing through power as it is "stuck" hanging in the UEFI services.
