Looking at the vt8237r datasheet, for offset 82 of device 17, bus
control/power management device:

4  SUSC# AC-Power-On Default Value .................RO
   This bit is written at RTC Index 0D bit-7. If this bit
   is 0, the system is configured to “default on” when
   power is connected.

So a good place to start would be the vt8235 datahseets.
