In order to avoid pixels getting stuck in the (unflushable) FIFO between
the HVS and the PV, we need to add some delay after disabling the PV output
and before disabling the HDMI controller. 20ms seems to be good enough so
let's use that.

mdelay for 20ms seems a touch unfriendly as it's a busy wait. Can we
not msleep instead?
Since the timing was fairly critical, sleeping didn't seem like a good
solution since there's definitely some chance you overshoot and end up
with a higher time than the one you targeted.
usleep_range(min, max) isn't a solution?
My understanding of usleep_range was that you can still overshoot, even
though it's backed by an HR timer so the resolution is not a jiffy. Are
we certain that we're going to be in that range?
you are right there is no guarantee about the upper wake up time.

And it's not worth the effort to poll the FIFO state until its empty
(using 20 ms as timeout)?
