These are the patches that fix the issues with low contrast, "halo",
temporary burn-in and occasional black screen on the Librem 5 phones,
which use Mantix MLAF057WE51-X and Yashi Changhua YS57PSS36BH5GQ panels.

They're mostly about improving the power sequences to match the ones
described in FT8006P datasheet, so the driver does not end up disturbing
the internal initialization process performed by the controller.
Aside of that, using LP mode has been found to improve the reliability of
sending DSI commands to the panel to the point where long chains
of commands can be sent without erroring out - something that, at least
on i.MX8MQ, wasn't possible without LPM.

These have been used in Purism's downstream tree for months and tested
across the variety of hardware batches.
