If the display controller drivers all behaved correctly, their
.shutdown() implementation would disable all the output, and thus
disable the panels. I think that's the best way forward, and we should
ideally remove .shutdown() from the panel drivers, as otherwise the
panel may be disabled before the display driver .shutdown() operation is
called, and weird things can then happen.
This being said, guaranteeing proper operation of the display controller
drivers isn't easy, so I'm not calling for removing .shutdown() from
panel drivers right now, but I think we shouldn't accept that operation
in new panel drivers going forward.

I'd rather get rid of the hacks instead of trying to refactor them in
generic hack-support helpers ;-) But I get your point, as an interim
measure this is probably our best option.

I agree with you.

Maybe with a note in the Documentation/gpu/todo.rst to remove
.shutdown() in panel drivers as a long term goal ?
