Reboot from Heads not working anymore after 2.1->2.4 upgrade

[UndeadDevel]

Please identify some basic details to help process the report

After upgrading to NK Heads 2.4 from 2.1 reboot from Heads doesn't work anymore (it does work from QubesOS 4.2); i.e. it neither works when I trigger it manually from recovery shell nor when the reboot is supposed to be automatically triggered during OEM factory reset. It's a relatively minor issue. Possibly related to #24.

Expected behavior
reboots as before under 2.1

yes, this is kind of a "feature"....

in reboot and poweroff the EC is used for a proper shutdown - this reduces the risk that the nitropads might need to be started more than once (this may happen after a firmware update)

So I have to admit this will be a won't fix as of now...

[UndeadDevel]

Well it's not a big deal anyway; reboot from the OS works as expected. Closing as won't fix.

[UndeadDevel]

I'll just add that while sometimes rebooting from the OS does work, other times it leaves the system hanging and requires a hard shutdown...is this also expected or should I open a new issue?
Edit: now opened under #38

[daringer]

not expected, also not necessarily a firmware only thing, still feel free to create an issue - pls include OS & kernel-version
