These bits were included in a driver for a similar panel with the same
controller in an MSM8916 close-to-mainline kernel fork[1]; that driver
was generated with lmdpdg[2], which adds the LPM mode flag automatically
based on some downstream DTS property. In this case, I left it in, since
it didn't seem to break anything... but I just re-tested without it and
it seems that it might've fixed some odd issues I'd get sometimes when
going out of sleep mode. I'll get rid of it in the next version.
(I based my panel driver off that driver; now that I think about it, it
might be worth mentioning somewhere in the copyright notice...?)
Best regards
