Unfortunately, your patch no longer applies to drm-misc/drm-misc-next.
Commit 7abbc26fd667 ("drm/bridge: ps8640: Register and attach our DSI
device at probe") landed and that causes a merge conflict. Can you
rebase and resend?

This will also cause a conflict when Sam's change lands [1] so I guess
we can see whose lands first. Let me review that now and maybe you add
a Tested-by? If it lands that'll make it easier and you can just
rebase on both of them?

To be a little nitpicky, this makes it sound as if the 500 ms needs to
be greater than the 300 ms for correctness. That's not _really_ the
case. During the whole ps8640_aux_transfer_msg() we're holding a PM
Runtime reference (so it won't autosuspend no matter what) and at the
end of it we mark that we were busy so the timer won't start ticking
until then.

Really the 500 ms is because we're quite slow to power up (~300 ms)
and so we want to avoid powering down and powering up constantly. We
definitely need to avoid a power down / power up when reading the EDID
and an EDID read involves _several_ calls in a row to the AUX transfer
function. We also expect that after userspace reads the EDID it will
call us again "soon" to turn the power on and it's nice to not have to
wait the 300 ms again. The 500 ms here is really just a number that's
not too short but not too long. I suppose it's roughly related to the
300 ms because that's the delay we're trying to avoid, but otherwise
they are unrelated. NOTE: the code will still be _correct_ if we miss
the 500 ms window, it'll just be a lot slower.
