Maybe a slightly better description:

The time (in milliseconds) to wait after powering up the display
before asserting its enable pin.

Maybe a slightly better description:

The time (in milliseconds) to wait after disabling the display before
deasserting its enable pin.

I wonder if it's worth a warning if
"p->desc->delay.disable_to_power_off" is non-zero and p->enable_gpio
is NULL? I guess in theory it'd also be nice to confirm that p->supply
wasn't a dummy regulator, but that's slightly harder.

Similar to above: I wonder if it's worth a warning if
"p->desc->delay.power_to_enable" is non-zero and p->enable_gpio is
NULL?
