Mmmm so maybe I am misinterpreting things, but it looks like we
have just buried the power sequences here, haven't we?
I don't think so. In fact I was just starting to think that maybe for
Tegra we could have a generic panel driver which used power sequences
to abstract away the pin differences for powering up the panel. Since
most likely that will be where the differences are there is a lot of
potential to factor things out into sequences.

Perhaps what we may want to postpone for now is the DT representation
since that's what Tomi and Grant seem to be mostly opposed to.
Don't give up. I'm am being cautions and trying to think of all the
implications because that is what I have to do as a maintainer. I'm
not opposed to the feature but I need a good level of confidence that
it has been fully thought out.
