I have no real objection here and am happy to let others argue about
bikeshed color. I think the "panel-boe-tv101wum-nl6.c" driver ended up
becoming a dumping ground for a bunch of panels in response to Sam's
feedback originally [1].

...so it would be good to get Sam's feedback here.

IMO "discharge_on_disable" should be removed since the one panel
supported by this driver doesn't use it. If later we find that some
ili9882t panels need this logic then we can add it back in, but it
seems hard to believe it would use the same code.

IMO "lp11_before_reset" should be removed. The one panel supported by
this driver _always_ needs lp11_before_reset. If we later find that
some ili9882t panels want different behavior then we can add it back
in. It doesn't feel like the kind of thing that would be different on
different drivers using the same chip.

I'd be inclined to take the above call out and assume anyone using
this new panel has a DRM driver that's working properly...
