Recently we added generic "edp-panel"s probed by EDID. To support panels in this way we look at the panel ID in the EDID and look up the panel in a table that has power sequence timings. If we find a panel that's not in the table we will still attempt to use it but we'll use conservative timings. While it's likely that these conservative timings will work for most nearly all panels, the performance of turning the panel off and on suffers. We'd like to be able to reliably detect the case that we're using the hardcoded timings without relying on parsing dmesg. This allows us to implement tests that ensure that no devices get shipped that are relying on the conservative timings. Let's add a new sysfs entry to panel devices. It will have one of: * UNKNOWN - We tried to detect a panel but it wasn't in our table. * HARDCODED - We're not using generic "edp-panel" probed by EDID. * A panel name - This is the name of the panel from our table.

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.
