power button override

[Vijay Khemka]

And it is inconsistent as 2 times works out of 5 time loop with 30 second delay.

    Hi Jason,
    The problem I am seeing as I am unable to send reset ipmi command to ME via IPMB on i2c bus. I tried to give 30 second delay after power off and setting in ME recovery mode. Once I do force poweroff then only I am able to send any command to ME. I don't know what is the relation of power to ME access on i2c bus.
    
    Regards

        I checked with the ME team and ME reset to move from recovery mode to 
        operational mode should work.  You can file a ticket with Intel support 
        to help resolve the inconsistent behavior that you see when doing this.
        
        In the meantime, I will look over your patch.
        
        Thanks,
