The panel is detected and probed correctly. So something else is wrong.
It's not a bootloader issue, because booting 3.9 right after 3.10-rc1
makes the display work again correctly.

So I bisected and it points to:

	commit a2797beadfcb5a0974a30929b613b4d1adb023d1
	Author: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@xxxxxx>
	Date:   Thu Apr 4 15:16:15 2013 -0500

	    gpio/omap: force restore if context loss is not detectable

When I revert that commit from 3.10-rc1, the display works again as
expected.
