feat: Power-off fix for the Steam Machine; the kernel pin is optional
Kernels >= 7.2 keep the firmware's S4/S5 wake bit on GPIO pin 18, so the Steam Machine starts again right after powering off. Steam Machine support now builds a DKMS module (patches/steamify-fremont-poweroff.c) that clears it before power-off, for every kernel. The kernel pin is no longer ticked by default. Module sources and patches move to patches/, embedded by the single-file build.

## Power-off fix (Steam Machine)
|
||||
|
||||
With kernels 7.2 and newer a Steam Machine starts again right after
|
||||
powering off. Linux 7.2 stopped clearing the S4/S5 wake bits at probe
|
||||
(`pinctrl-amd: Don't clear S4 wake bits at probe`), and the firmware leaves
|
||||
that bit set on GPIO pin 18 (`_SB.PCI0.GPP6`). Valve's own kernel
|
||||
(`linux-neptune-72`) clears it at probe on Fremont, in a patch marked not
|
||||
for upstream ("until the firmware is fixed"), so CachyOS and mainline won't
|
||||
get it.
|
||||
|
||||
Steam Machine support builds a small module with DKMS for every installed
|
||||
kernel, `steamify-fremont-poweroff` (source in
|
||||
[`patches/steamify-fremont-poweroff.c`](patches/steamify-fremont-poweroff.c)).
|
||||
It only loads on Fremont (DMI board name) and touches one register: right
|
||||
before power-off (a `SYS_OFF_MODE_POWER_OFF_PREPARE` handler, after the
|
||||
drivers have shut down) it clears that pin's S4/S5 wake bit. On a kernel
|
||||
that already clears it, it does nothing. It logs the pin's state at load:
|
||||
`dmesg | grep 'GPIO 18'`; `/sys/kernel/debug/gpio` shows the S4/S5 column.
|
||||
Tested on a Steam Machine with `linux-cachyos-bore` 7.2.8: it stayed off
|
||||
three times in a row, and rebooted right away with the module unloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
Steam Machine support set up before 2.2.0 has no power-off fix; the menu
|
||||
ticks it, so a normal run adds it.

|
||||
## Kernel pin (Steam Machine)
|
||||
|
||||
With CachyOS kernels newer than 7.1.6 a Steam Machine reboots instead of
|
||||
shutting down. The **Pin the kernel** sub-option (ticked along with Steam
|
||||
Machine support) installs `linux-cachyos` and `linux-cachyos-headers`
|
||||
With CachyOS kernels newer than 7.1.6 a Steam Machine rebooted instead of
|
||||
shutting down; the power-off fix above handles that now, so the pin is
|
||||
optional. The **Pin the kernel** sub-option (off by default; HDMI refresh
|
||||
boost needs it) installs `linux-cachyos` and `linux-cachyos-headers`
|
||||
7.1.6-1 and adds them to `IgnorePkg` in `/etc/pacman.conf`, so updates skip
|
||||
them. DKMS builds the LED driver for it; restart to boot it.
