I'm not sure a reference count is going to help here. The common
pattern is to call detect() followed by get_modes() and then modeset.
However, it's not guaranteed that any one of those functions will be
called after the other. So, if you leave things on after detect or
get_modes, you might be wasting power (or worse).

I recently ran into this exact problem with a panel we're using. Check
out "0b8b059a7: drm/bridge: analogix_dp: Ensure the panel is properly
prepared/unprepared". Perhaps you can piggyback on that function to
add your pm_runtime and plat_data callbacks (since using dpms_mode
might be racey).
