Indeed these waits even have wrappers *within* intel_dp.c so that only very specific functions in intel_dp.c ever look at these members. This is a huge red flag.

This change will call on/off delay twice. It is a mistake.
I check the driver again. To use the original on/off delay in _intel_edp_backlight_on() and _intel_edp_backlight_off() are enough.
And we should bypass backlight_enable on/off control by soc if aux backlight control active. Right?
One more question about the off flow. In this case, backlight_enable will be off at backlight.disable() function.
But wait delay was executed at _intel_edp_backlight_off() before backlight.disable().
We are trying to enable a panel with DP aux backlight control. The modification in patch #1 to correct the sequence and make it works.
But seems we should modify the delay time to fit panel's spec just like what we did for general eDP panel.
