The off-on-delay could be violated because the bridge driver does not
check the delay.

The symptom we observed is that the device has a small chance to
reboot to a black panel, and we think the panel's unprepare delay (the
time to power down completely) might not be satisfied because the
bridge doesn't check that when it enables the regulator. Even if the
regulator is enabled by the panel driver, the delay can also be
violated in the following sequence:
* t=0ms, bridge on: panel goes off, but regulator doesn't turn off
(refcount=1). The .unprepared_time in panel_edp is updated
* t=300ms, bridge off, regulator goes off (refcount=0)
* t=600ms, panel on, the panel driver thinks the unprepare delay
(500ms) is satisfied, but the regulator was disabled 300ms ago.
Did I miss anything here? Or should I add more detail to the commit message?
