Hi Jessica,

Thank you for the feedback.

This patch here is required by the data sheet if the screen was already running
and was reset. This is necessary if for example the bootloader set up and had
the screen running. However I have not tested this, it's possible the specific
panels have shorter tolerances for resets. This is purely precautionary at
this stage based on what the data sheet says.

That said I will be investigating this specific use case with this panel over
the next few months. I am okay separating out this patch until I have proof it's
needed for my particular display. I don't know anything about the ltk display.

The second sleep patch can probably be omitted as I don't think the panel being
prepared then unprepared in rapid succession is a realistic situation, but I 
figured I might as well propose it to see if it's the right thing to do.

Thanks for your time and review,
John.
