Indeed, our spec is useless here :(

What would make sense to me is

assert reset // just in case it wasn't already asserted
power on
deassert reset
init otp

And here I'd do 

assert reset
power off

and nothing more.

This would also seem to agree with a few panel specs I have lying
around.

But of course I could be mistaken, eg. if the panel on/off sequeneces
themselves would had some kind of magic reset (de)assert already inside
them. Nothing in the spec suggests this though.
