It was done a way to avoid having two shutdown messages to cover
the rare case that we somehow failed to read the register value, since
the firmware could never write this value (it as 31 bits set).

It's a diagnostic of the firmware, not the driver, and we can't assume that
people trying to use a firmware have the ability to build and flash a kernel
with a debug version of the driver
