We need to figure out why the panel doesn't start up again. If it has
problems with this then surely it also fails if we just happen to reboot
with the panel already off?
Oh a modeset fixes it? Then I guess it's just fastboot fail due to DSI
code being crap? If no one is willing to fix it then I guess we just
need to disable fastboot for DSI somehow.
