Yes.

It may simply be revealing bug elsewhere in the STM display stack.

No, I don't have any STM based board. This revert reintroduces the bug that
causes this driver resource use failures after a simple blanking/unblnaking
cycle done via sysfs when using Linux VT.

It's quite likely reproducible on your board, too. It's pretty clear from the code
why that happens and it will happen regardless of what panel you're using.

You can't expect to call pm_runtime_get once and pm_runtime_put 5 times and have
this driver work at all. The same thing for clk_enable_*/disable_* and so on.

You'll need to fix the issue you're seeing differently without the revert.
