The driver is guaranteed to always reset the panel in sleep-in mode -
as long as the panel was off when the driver started.

What I'd suggest if you really need to support a case where the panel
was enabled by the bootloader, is to read the 0x0a register after
enabling the regulator to read the mode, and sleep 120ms if it was in
sleep-out mode.

But that's only if it's a case that you can test with. I won't accept a
patch that makes sense on the surface if it addresses a corner case
that nobody ever tested for.

For what I know, this patch just adds a huge delay to panel boot-up for
all existing users for no valid reason.

Cheers,
