I think this should be two patches, one which adds the delay parameters
and another which adds support for the new panel.

These are overly long in my opinion, how about:
struct {
unsigned int prepare;
unsigned int enable;
unsigned int disable;
unsigned int unprepare;
} delay;
? Oh, and this should probably mention that it's in milliseconds. On
that note, do you think we'll ever need microsecond resolution? I don't
think I've ever seen a panel datasheet mentioning that kind of
granularity.

Should have a blank line between "regulator_disable(...)" and "if ...".
Also it's not useful to check for p->desc, really, since it's a bug if
that is NULL.
However I think it would be good to check for the delay being set, like
so:
if (p->desc->delay.unprepare)
msleep(p->desc->delay.unprepare);
I'm not sure about the placement of the delay here, see below for more.

Should the delay not be *after* all steps in prepare have been
performed? That way drivers can use it to specify the time that a panel
needs to "internally" become ready after they've been power up (for
example).

I think here the delay makes sense where it is because it allows the
panel driver to wait for a given amount of time (after video data has
been sent by the display controller) until the first "good" frame is
visible.
In general I think it would be good to have a description of these in
the struct panel_desc structure, something like this perhaps:
/**
* @prepare: the time (in milliseconds) that it takes for the panel
* to become ready and start receiving video data
* @enable: the time (in milliseconds) that it takes for the panel
* to display the first valid frame after starting to
* receive video data
* @disable: the time (in milliseconds) that it takes for the panel
* to turn the display off (no content is visible)
* @unprepare: ???
*/
struct {
unsigned int prepare;
unsigned int enable;
unsigned int disable;
unsigned int unprepare;
} delay;
For prepare and enable delays this would mean that they should take
effect at the very end of the .prepare() and .enable() functions,
respectively. For disable in means that it should be at the end (for
example to take into account the time it takes for backlight to
completely turn off). For unprepare I have no idea what we would need it
for. And the new panel that you're adding in this patch doesn't use it
either, so perhaps it can just be left out (for now)?

I take it that this last one was supposed to be .enable_stage_delay
since you've already set up .prepare_stage_delay.
