No, that's not correct, this is run before turning the panel back on and
must check that enough time has elapsed since it was turned off, which
may have happened in the work proc.

However, you are right in saying that I could call the cancel work
function when the panel is forced off synchronously. I'll add that.

With the right mutex held, there won't be a race, we just need to check the
value somewhere. Do you still see a race condition that needs to be avoided?

After the panel is turned on, I want to synchronously turn off the VDD
AUX bits, as that's what the driver did before. That's 'free' because
the panel is on. In the other (failure) path, I don't want to impose a
delay if the application wants to try the mode set again.
