[coreboot] cmos.layout: power_on_after_fail

[Marc Jones]

Iru,

It is powering on if it thinks that the normal shutdown failed. You can
change the default for your build and/or check if there is a logic bug.
Also check that the option is correctly cleared on S5. Finally, details of
your board and chipset would be good to mention.
