Understood, happy to hold the DCUltraLite series until your fix
patchset lands, and rebase the ops-table patch on top of it then.

On DC8000: its panel enable/disable path just toggles a plain
FB_CONFIG_RESET bit, not the staged PANEL_CONFIG/PANEL_START latch
registers DC8200 uses, so it doesn't look like it shares this specific
ordering hazard from the register layout alone. I'll run the tests again 
after
applying our variant on top of it.
