Thanks Siva for iterating few optimization points which I have been also 
thinking are needed. But lets take the over all optimization 
possibilities in another thread. My question to you guys in the current 
context is -

1. Shall we keep the panel_power_cycle_delay as is but adjusting jiffies 
based on wall clock as Ville suggested. This will ensure that we skip 
the wait in suspend/resume scenario, or

2. Have the HW PPS based tracking for delays and also take care that VDD 
force on is not called before panel power cycle is completely over. If 
all do not agree or see issues with this approach, we can keep this for 
later when we optimize vdd on/off sequences as suggested by siva and go 
for now with approach 1.
