I'm just playing it safe and ensuring the panel is fully powered
including backlight before letting followers know we're powered.

For now, we only use drm_panel framework for prepare/unprepare
notifications to followers. Plugging in enable/disable with backlight
doesn't seem trivial, and needs careful thought and refactoring. So
better not mix the two for the time being.
