That's obviously not true, e.g. if panel-edp.c handled HPD signal via
the GPIO pin.
But the documentation explicitly says that the host will be powered up
automatically, but the caller must ensure that the panel is powered
on. `It's up to the caller of this code to make sure that the panel is
powered on if getting an error back is not OK.'
