[PATCH v5 29/80] drm/vc4: crtc: Add a delay after disabling the PixelValve output

[Maxime Ripard]

In order to avoid pixels getting stuck in the (unflushable) FIFO between
the HVS and the PV, we need to add some delay after disabling the PV output
and before disabling the HDMI controller. 20ms seems to be good enough so
let's use that.
