what device types should be allowable via the boot target/power routes?

[edaniszewski]

If doing a raw write, the device type isn't checked (since write is general). If using the /power/... or /boot_target/... routes though, device types are checked preemptively to make sure that the given device does actually support that command.

We currently have

route	type(s)
/power/...	power
/boot_target/...	system

My question is: should those be the only allowable types? My question stems from work on the IPMI plugin. There, chassis power is currently a power type device, but chassis boot target is currently a boot_target device.

The system device isn't really used by anything else IIRC.

I think this was 'fixed', or at least a decision was made, in the PR referenced above. Now, multiple device types are permissible on an endpoint, and boot target allows types system and boot_target.
