Yes, I think this is a better solution than a full revert

I am curious to know why this doesnt work for parade but will not hold
this patch back for that. We are initializing and turning on DSI PHY now
before turning on the bridge chip which is actually better as we are
putting PHY in a good state.

So this should have been better, but somehow doesnt work.

I can't really explain it, but mostly because the Parade chip is just
a big black box. There have been several times when an OEM using this
bridge chip had one problem or another with getting the display to
turn on, then the parade FAE would make some magic tweak to the
firmware and it would be fixed. The current way that the Linux driver
is working is with pretty much zero configuration so I think this chip
bakes in a bunch of assumptions about the timings / signal coming from
the MIPI DSI side. It doesn't surprise me that changing the order like
this would confuse it.

In theory I believe the Parade chip can run in a less "automatic" mode
where everything is configured and controlled by Linux. I'd really
have preferred if we could have gotten that done, but it didn't end up
happening. :(
