If you disable the GAMMA function (either set RELAY mode or disable the
GAMMA_LUT_EN bit in GAMMA_CFG), there will be glitches during setting via
the GNOME Night Mode color temperature slider.

This commit prevents a glitch in the case in which the GAMMA LUT registers
are not zeroed before setting the expected LUT, for which reason I disagree
about skipping this patch.

Please note that, while I agree about updating the GAMMA LUT through CMDQ
setting and between vblanks, this requires a lot more effort to implement
and it's out of scope for this specific series; depending on my bandwidth,
this may come later and it would in any case require this patch to move
the LUT enablement to after LUT registers setting. Besides, I have already
tried to enable this through CMDQ, but didn't work as expected and since I
had no time to dig further, I deemed this to be essential for at least an
initial functionality implementation for MT8195, and a cleanup of this
driver.
Obviously, the *only* way to fix *all* of the corner cases of the problem
that you mentioned is to use CMDQ and trying to implement this purely with
cpu writes will in any case be prone to at least some glitches.

In any case, while your concern is valid, I'm sure that you agree with me
on the fact that enabling the LUT before actually programming it is something
that should not happen in principle. For this reason, and for the others that
I've just mentioned, I think that this patch is totally valid.

Angelo
