So I really hate this.

Yeah, maybe it follows the spec now, but what connection does the DPLL
manager have with the panel power sequencing?

Absolutely nothing.

The DPLL manager has no business calling PPS functions.

Currently only the g4x and DDI encoder code does PPS power calls, and
they're the only ones who should manage PPS.

Please point me at the review comment. I couldn't find anything that
would suggest moving the PPS calls to the DPLL manager.

Please let's not do this.
