IMHO it's worth having a _prepare_enable, and alike on the dtor side,
similar to clk. The clk helper attributes when .enable() fails, which
is a good idea. Looking on the drm side - all the users of such
helper(s) don't bother checking neither .prepare or .enable. So
updating that alongside the introduction would be a great move ;-)

Just an idea about another small task.

P.S. Skimming through v4.7 mediatek (mtk) driver looks a bit
assymetrical wrt using the drm_panel API. Worth checking if things
have improved with later versions ?
