I am glad to hear it.

I'll second Jason's request — please go ahead and submit a diff to
Phabricator (reviews.freebsd.org), if you don't mind.

It allows me to power off my ASRock X399M (mATX) motherboard, and should also work for ASRock X399 (ATX) users who have reported the same problem of ACPI hanging during shutdown. Hopefully it will be useful to other users in the future who experience ACPI shutdown issues as a fallback option.

Hm, I don't recall my ASRock X399 board having issues shutting down with ACPI.

Thanks,
Conrad
