The PCI part was there because without it, the system hard-locks during
boot without it.

However, I'm not sure that the power-supply is the correct approach,
because I can still see lockups even with the switch in place. I still
haven't found out the root cause of that problem.

One workaround is to simply enable that GPIO in the bootloader and leave
it on permanently.  Doing this mimics behavior on other platforms where
PCIe is permanently powered up, and since the patches are decoupled the
PCI patch can be applied at a later time.

I'd prefer to drop the PCI patch for now.  Would you like me to submit a
v3 with simply the drm/panel and devicetree patches?
