Commit 7d8e9a90509f ("drm/msm/dsi: move DSI host powerup to modeset
time") caused sc7180 Chromebooks that use the parade-ps8640 bridge
chip to fail to turn the display back on after it turns off.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look easy to fix the parade-ps8640 driver to
handle the new power sequence. The Linux driver has almost nothing in
it and most of the logic for this bridge chip is in black-box firmware
that the bridge chip uses.

Also unfortunately, reverting the patch will break "tc358762".

The long term solution here is probably Dave Stevenson's series [1]
that would give more flexibility. However, that is likely not a quick
fix.

For the short term, let's introduce a module parameter that selects
between the two behaviors. This is a short term hack but at least can
keep both users working. We'll default the value of the module
parameter to the old behavior. Given that the old behavior has existed
for longer it's probably a safer default.

Two minor issues below.

Changes in v3:
- No longer a revert; now a module parameter.

Changes in v2:
- Remove the mud from my face.

Nit: dsi_early_poweron (to be clear that it related to DSI only).

I thought about suggesting 'dsi_no_early_poweron' instead to catch possible issues with other bridges. But... I think with Dave's series will have to enable bridges one by one, so it doesn't make real sense.
