Ok, so indeed you need, AFAICR, the node in the DT even without a
dedicated channel nor anynone referring it: no DT node means no protocol

On the linux side you should not need to do anything but adding the node
@12, the existent drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/system_power_control.c
driver when loaded will shutdown the system upon receiving the SytemPower
notification....what lacks Linux side in these regards ?
