Option to turn off Wii U GamePad while it is docked.

First and foremost consider this:

• Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
• This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Description

[Issue only occurs whenever the power button is held on the Wii U GamePad - until the screen on the GamePad turns off. Once the screen on the GamePad goes black, you are able to continue gaming on a TV while the GamePad is docked but shortly after (roughly 5 minutes) the Wii U completely shuts off to the red LED point on the power button of the console.]

Expected behavior

[Ability to turn off the Wii U GamePad screen while having it docked and strictly playing on TV.]

Actual behavior

[This has happened to me twice and only after the power button is held on the GamePad with intentions to turn the screen off and play strictly through TV.]

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. [Hold power button on Wii U GamePad.]
2. [Wait a few minutes.]
3. [Console will shut down.]

Bisect Results

[Is the GamePad screen not allowed to be turned off while using RetrAarch? Unsure if I am doing this incorrectly, I have a feeling it has to do with the console thinking it's on stand-by and auto shutting down since there is no activity coming from the gamepad or the console thinks I am trying to power it down by holding the power button? Although, I am able to turn off controllers normally outside of RetroArch.]

Version/Commit

You can find this information under Information/System Information

• RetroArch: [1.8.9]

Environment information

• OS: [Wii U]
• Compiler: [In case you are running local builds]

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Wii U sequence in RetroArch 1.8.9: hold the GamePad power button, wait several minutes, and compare the shutdown behavior with use outside RetroArch. Done means the GamePad screen can be disabled while playing on the TV without powering off the console.
