Hi Angelo,

thanks for the feedback.

I think the current layout makes more sense based on my understanding of the
power routing here: a single power line output by the pp3300_mipibrdg regulator
powers both the ANX chip as well as the panel. So I'm going to keep it the way
it is for now. If there are any other concerns please let me know.

Thanks,
Nícolas
