[PATCH] drm/panel: sony-acx565akm: Fix race condition in probe

[Sebastian Reichel <sebastian.reichel@collabora.com>]

The probe routine acquires the reset GPIO using GPIOD_OUT_LOW. Directly
afterwards it calls acx565akm_detect(), which sets the GPIO value to
HIGH. If the bootloader initialized the GPIO to HIGH before the probe
routine was called, there is only a very short time period of a few
instructions where the reset signal is LOW. Exact time depends on
compiler optimizations, kernel configuration and alignment of the stars,
but I expect it to be always way less than 10us. There are no public
datasheets for the panel, but acx565akm_power_on() has a comment with
timings and reset period should be at least 10us. So this potentially
brings the panel into a half-reset state.

The result is, that panel may not work after boot and can get into a
working state by re-enabling it (e.g. by blanking + unblanking), since
that does a clean reset cycle. This bug has recently been hit by Ivaylo
Dimitrov, but there are some older reports which are probably the same
bug. At least Tony Lindgren, Peter Ujfalusi and Jarkko Nikula have
experienced it in 2017 describing the blank/unblank procedure as
possible workaround.

Note, that the bug really goes back in time. It has originally been
introduced in the predecessor of the omapfb driver in 3c45d05be382
("OMAPDSS: acx565akm panel: handle gpios in panel driver") in 2012.
That driver eventually got replaced by a newer one, which had the bug
from the beginning in 84192742d9c2 ("OMAPDSS: Add Sony ACX565AKM panel
driver") and still exists in fbdev world. That driver has later been
copied to omapdrm and then was used as a basis for this driver. Last
but not least the omapdrm specific driver has been removed in
45f16c82db7e ("drm/omap: displays: Remove unused panel drivers").
