So maybe this is fine for the mxsfb if it doesn't support any kind of
panel drivers, and there's no plan to extend it. Otherwise the LCD_RESET
pin could perhaps be exposed as a GPIO for the panel drivers.

But even so, I think the definition of "reset" is a bit vague.

I know panels for which "reset" is a pulse, you assert it for a short
period. Other panels take reset more like a on/off switch. If I'm not
mistaken, this one is the latter kind.

I don't see any sleeps related to reset in the code. If reset is
asserted when the display is blanked, is it guaranteed that the reset
stays asserted long enough until the display is enabled again?
