Yeah, see the big comment in ti_sn65dsi86_enable_comms().

Actually, looking at how the code has evolved in the meantime, you
could probably get away with:

1. Making sure you have an "hpd-absent-delay-ms" in the device tree
for the panel.

2. Implement "wait_hpd_asserted" in ti-sn65dsi86 to simply be a msleep
with the passed in delay.

Then I think you don't need "no-hpd" anywhere which keeps the device
tree pretty.
