It's better to leave power handling and controller init to the

If a display physically has a backlight, but it is not controllable (i.e.
mipi->backlight == NULL) and you disable the regulator, would that not cause
the display to be all white instead of blanked?


Yes, if the regulator doesn't control the backlight. But on these simple
displays I assume that a regulator would control the whole display
including the backlight. If we get a display with a separate backlight
regulator, I think it's better to treat that as the exception rather than
the other way around.

Makes sense. All of the displays I have that have a controllable backlight don't
have a regulator for the display itself, so they won't be affected anyway.


Also, even if this is OK, it seems like you should call regulator_enable()
in mipi_dbi_pipe_enable() to keep things balanced in the helper functions.


Yes, I wasn't entirely happy with this. The regulator has to be enabled
before the controller is initialized, so it can't happen in this _enable helper.
I thought about having mipi_dbi_pipe_enable_begin/end functions, but I'm
not sure I like that either. I prefer something more descriptive.

Maybe we should drop the pipe enable helper, since it's not very likely
that anyone can use it directly as an .enable function.

What do you think about this approach:

It looks OK to me. Although I am wondering about the conditional reset. If the
display is already on, how do we know it is configured correctly?
