Ok, I don't know the DP hardware well. But, MIPI-DSI driver is
depending on fimd on/off ordering. ie. to enable display hw pipe, the
ordering should be FIMD----MIPI-DSI-----LCD because initial commands
_cannot be set_ to lcd panel if fimd is off. And to disable that, the
ordering should be LCD-------MIPI-DSI-------FIMD in same reason: to
get lcd panel off, off commands should be set to lcd panel. In similar
reason, I had posted FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK feature to mainline and that
have been merged.

Ah... as you may know I mentioned about this issue some time ago;
moving eDP driver(maybe??) into drm/exynos. At that time, I had
rejected it because I thought we should share these bus drivers with
Linux framebuffer driver: actually, I planned to use CDF for this.
But.... I'm not sure even CDF as of now. So let's have a discussion
about this issue with other people: it doesn't mean I oppose your
patch set.
