openbmc power-control can't work OK.

I'm copying the mailing list in case there are others who have similar 
questions.

This is because the IPMI chassis power status command gets the power 
status by calling the IPMI chassis status command which requires a lot 
of other information such as the restart cause and AC fail status to 
return successfully.

The ACBoot property is provided by a small script that we run to get the 
reset reason from uboot.  You can find it here: 
https://github.com/Intel-BMC/openbmc/tree/intel/meta-openbmc-mods/meta-common/recipes-core/ac-boot-check.

The RestartCause property recently moved to x86-power-control and is 
being synced up in this review: 
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/x86-power-control/+/26491.
