The TI LCDC picks a GPIO line from the device tree to use for DPMS power on/off. We can switch this to use a GPIO descriptor pretty easily. Make sure to request the GPIO "as is" so that the DPMS state that we start (boot) in is preserved.
Hmmm, I have been considering ditching this driver all together since no mainline platform has ever used it. Also, if anybody ever wants to connect tfp410 to tilcdc, he should use drm/bridge/ti-tfp410.c instead.
But since the patch is there, maybe I should pick it up, and remove the bundled driver later a bit later.
IMO much better to just get rid of it now - as there is anyway no users. No reason to patch code that is essential dead. You just postpone the task for no gain.
