Ping? Since sending this patch I've been seeing the issue addressed by
this on variour other CHT based devices too.

So we have various devices suffering from a black screen after reboot
now. This is pretty serious usability regression.

As such it would be good to get this reviewed, or another fix proposed.

Regards,

Hans
