No, you _must_ limit it to RET. Otherwise the DSI will break down. So we
can either keep the dsi code as it is now, or explicitely disable OFF
mode and then apply your patch. But your patch alone won't work.

In the long run I think we anyway need to somehow dynamically manage the
power state. I haven't measured it but I believe resuming from OFF will
have a bit of a penalty, as (I think) DSI PLL etc. will have to
reinitialized. But it would still be good to allow RET whenever
possible, and OFF only after some period of inactivity.
