Hmm, good point.
I did it like this, because I don't have a board with the P/N in the
0xd6 configuration, to test.
But, if I leave it like this, and just overwrite 0x3e when
`do_pn_swap` is true, I can test that; and I don't need to test the
original case.

I'm actually not 100% sure here if the order of registers (being
written) matters for the initialization.

Oh.
I actually based this change on a reference software for the LT8912B.
I didn't get a chance to see/find a documentation for the registers.
I compared with the Linux driver, to see what was missing to get
output on the HDMI display (for our setup).
