Thank you, and sorry for being slow with getting around to
pushing this to drm-intel-next.

I've just pushed it to drm-intel-next with a comment added above the if
(and dropped the single line comment inside the if), so this now
looks like this:

	/*
	 * Give the panel time to power-on and then deassert its reset.
	 * Depending on the VBT MIPI sequences version the deassert-seq
	 * may contain the necessary delay, intel_dsi_msleep() will skip
	 * the delay in that case. If there is no deassert-seq, then an
	 * unconditional msleep is used to give the panel time to power-on.
	 */
	if (dev_priv->vbt.dsi.sequence[MIPI_SEQ_DEASSERT_RESET]) {
		intel_dsi_msleep(intel_dsi, intel_dsi->panel_on_delay);
		intel_dsi_vbt_exec_sequence(intel_dsi, MIPI_SEQ_DEASSERT_RESET);
	} else {
		msleep(intel_dsi->panel_on_delay);
	}

(the code is unchanged from when you reviewed it).

Regards,

Hans
