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 48834e60 ("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.
