Removing them doesn't seem to cause adverse effects, so I'm willing to
do that :)

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem so.

Yes. Since the commands differ, I was reluctant to introduce
a second, identical-except-60hz mode for now. Though I can
define a driver-specific struct like this:

struct rm69e25_panel_desc {
	drm_display_mode drm_mode;
	u8 framerate_magic;
};

and then define both a 60 and a 90 mode.


I also moved DCS calls from .unprepare to .disable so that they
are not sent to a DSI host that's powered off and will include
that in v2. LMK if you have more comments.
