I have applied the patch and deleted num_supplies - now build errors.
So num_supplies in struct st7701 is not used and should be deleted.

Should this be MIPI_DCS_ENTER_SLEEP_MODE?

Note - you have shortcuts fot the standard commands like
in this case:

	mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode(st7701->dsi);

Thay could be introduced in many palces, but I also like how all the
commands follows a consistent way to be issued.
So consider this only if this was new for you.

If the purpose is alone to reset the display then a single write '0'
should do it I think
And there is a requirement that it must be low for a minimum of 10 us
which would be good to have here.

I aslo found in chapter 9. (page 163 - second line) this statement:
"VDDA and VDDI must be powered down with minimum 120msec."

This is similar to the unprepare delay to be found in simple-panel.c
So an unprepare delay seems in order here.

OK, thanks for the pointer to the datasheet.
