Looks to me like .delay.prepare would be a better fit. That enables the
regulator and setting it to 300 ms would make sure that the regulator
will always get enabled for at least 300 ms.

Anyway, your commit message says nothing about why this is important.
What are the side-effects if the above isn't true? Does the display hang
in some way?
