Subject: [PATCH] drm: docs: Remove item from TODO list

Since "Clean up checks for already prepared/enabled in panels" has
already been done and merged [1], I think there is no longer a need
for this item to be in the gpu TODO.

-Clean up checks for already prepared/enabled in panels
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-In a whole pile of panel drivers, we have code to make the
-prepare/unprepare/enable/disable callbacks behave as no-ops if they've already
-been called. To get some idea of the duplicated code, try::
-
-  git grep 'if.*>prepared' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel
-  git grep 'if.*>enabled' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel
-
-In the patch ("drm/panel: Check for already prepared/enabled in drm_panel")
-we've moved this check to the core. Now we can most definitely remove the
-check from the individual panels and save a pile of code.
-
-In adition to removing the check from the individual panels, it is believed
-that even the core shouldn't need this check and that should be considered
-an error if other code ever relies on this check. The check in the core
-currently prints a warning whenever something is relying on this check with
-dev_warn(). After a little while, we likely want to promote this to a
-WARN(1) to help encourage folks not to rely on this behavior.
