Yeah, in my config somehow the DPCD read does end up incurring the cost
of the PPS.  The panel is on when the kernel loads too.  It seems
unlikely that the vdd_sanitize runs first, but I suppose it's possible
if the delay is 0?  Hm no that doesn't seem to be happening here.

Looks like we're doing the panel power sequence delays due to the panel
not being on:

...	if (!edp_have_panel_power(intel_dp))
		wait_panel_power_cycle(intel_dp);
...
	if (!edp_have_panel_power(intel_dp)) {
		DRM_DEBUG_KMS("eDP port %c panel power wasn't enabled\n",
			      port_name(intel_dig_port->port));
		msleep(intel_dp->panel_power_up_delay);
	}
...


Do you not see that on your machine?
