I'm worried this makes our PPS even more complex and hard to follow.
I'd rather see VDD AUX applied only when we need it (dpms, mode set and
detect; for hotplug we can assume the panel is alive) and that we
carefully disable it after waiting for a time after a full PPS on
sequence when doing a mode set or dpms on command.

Having all the power stuff at the highest levels would be clearest I
think.
