'can' is an imprecise term in technical documentation.

did you mean 'shall' (requirement), 'may' (permission) or 'should'
(recommendation)?

It's my understanding that it's legal to redo a complete reboot from a
clean-slate.

It's also unclear if the firmware can use this mechanism to prevent the
use of IMR, e.g. if in some firmware builds state save/restore was
disabled for some reason.
