TL;DR: yes but that is for a separate series, which currently only exists in my head.

Longer story:

It looks like on BYT we need to control both VLV_GPIO_NC_10_PANEL1_BKLTEN and
VLV_GPIO_NC_11_PANEL1_BKLTCTL from vlv_dsi.c when the LPSS is used for PWM.
With BKLTCTL working as a panel_enable (needs to be driven high early on
when initializing the panel) and BKLTEN is just a backlight enable/disable
GPIO.

Without this DSI panels will not light-up on BYT when a HDMI monitor is
connected and the GOP chooses to initialize the HDMI rather then the panel,
since then these 2 pins stay low.

On CHT the MIPI power on/off sequences seem to take care of this themselves.

I still want to run some more tests. Currently if I export the 2 gpios in
question in sysfs (since their not claimed yet) and read them they always
read 0. I have the feeling this is caused by the input-buffer not being
enabled on these GPIOs, and that they really are high. So I want to do
a little hack to enable the input buffer and then see if indeed they
are high when the GOP has initialized the panel.

Testing has already shown that driving them high manualy before loading
i915 when the GOP did not init the panel fixes the panel not lighting up.
So I'm pretty sure that this is the case, but I want to verify this before
writing a series for that.

Hans
