Douglas Anderson 52824ca450 drm/panel-edp: Better describe eDP panel delays
Now that the eDP panel driver only handles eDP panels we can make
better sense of the delays here. Let's describe them in terms of the
standard eDP timing diagram from the eDP spec.

As part of this, it becomes pretty clear that some eDP panels have too
long of a "hpd_reliable_delay". This used to be the "prepare"
delay. It's the fixed delay that we do in the panel driver after
powering on our panel before we look at the HPD signal. To understand
this better, first realize that there could be 3 paths we follow
depending on how HPD is hooked up. Let's walk through them:
1. HPD is handled by the eDP controller driver. Until "recently"
   (commit 48834e6084 ("drm/panel-simple: Support hpd-gpios for
   delaying prepare()") in May 2020) this was the only supported
   way. This is supposed to be when the controller driver gets HPD
   straight to a dedicated pin. In this case the controller driver
   should be waiting for HPD in its pre_enable() routine which should
   be called right after the panel's prepare() function is
   called. That means that the old "prepare" delay was only needed as
   a delay after powering the panel but before looking at HPD.
2. HPD is handled via hpd-gpios in the panel. This is much like #1 but
   much easier to follow since all the handling is in the panel
   driver.
3. The no-hpd case. This is also easy to follow.

In any case, even though it seems like some old panel data was using
this incorrectly, let's not touch the old data structures but we'll
add a note indicating that something seems off.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
