Before this patch the enable signal was set before the PWM signal and
vice-versa on power off. This sequence is wrong, at least, it is on
the different panels datasheets that I checked, so I inverted the sequence
to follow the specs.

For reference the following panels have the mentioned sequence:
  - N133HSE-EA1 (Innolux)
  - N116BGE (Innolux)
  - N156BGE-L21 (Innolux)
  - B101EAN0 (Auo)
  - B101AW03 (Auo)
  - LTN101NT05 (Samsung)
  - CLAA101WA01A (Chunghwa)
Ok, but this changes behaviour for other panels, too. Are you sure you
are not breaking one of those?
I can't say that I am 100% sure because I didn't find all the
datasheets of all the panels supported in the kernel. But all the
datasheets I checked specifies this sequence as valid. In general I
think that doesn't really matter, but I know that at least the
B116XTN02 panel requires enable first the PWM, wait 10ms and then
enable BL_EN to avoid garbage. So the other way around is not valid
for this panel. That's the reason for this patchset.

If anyone knows a panel that says the contrary, please let me know and
I'll try to rework the patches to satisfy both requirements.

Regards,
 Enric
