The patch version log in the commit suggests otherwise; we'd tried and
failed with NULL, until Mika realized passing "panel" works:

    v2 by Mika: switch *NULL* to *"panel"* when requesting gpio for MIPI/DSI
    panel.

See also [1]. What has changed since then that should make this work
now? We shouldn't apply until we get Tested-by's.
