Upon a bit of review:

  The bspec makes it clear that this write protect key only needs to
  be written for eDP on DPA -- it's a work-around for a bug where panel
  power sequencing wouldn't work right.

  The LVDS code does disable write protect in the _init function, which
  seems global enough, but misses the resume case. We shouldn't ever
  need to set this field though; it write protects registers only
  when the panel is running. We could presumably remove the
  write protect disable entirely in the LVDS code.

So, I think the patch as written is correct.
