Hi Ondřej,

ok, now I get it. Thank you very much for your thorough explanation. It really appreciate it!

Ok, I see. You removed the 20 msec delay after the panel specific
initialization sequence and before issuing SLPOUT in your original
patch.

Ok, that makes sense.

I agree, that the one 20 msec delay that you removed, is probably what
broke the JH057N panel and not the extra delays. Unfortunately, there is
no way for me to verify that statement, because I don’t have access to
Librem’s devkit.

So, I can only offer to prepare a V2 and kindly ask Guido to test it. V2
will be much simpler:
• Increase the delay after issuing sleep out from 60 to 120 msec for all
  panels.
• Add a delay of 120 msec after issuing sleep in for all panels.
• Move the 20 msec delay between initialization and sleep out into the
  initialization function for the JH057N panel (like in this version of
  the patch).
• Remove a 20 msec delay from the initialization function of the XBD599
  panel (like in this version of the patch).

Well, that was interesting! Thank you! I checked on my pinephone and I
only have refcounts of 1 on the relevant child nodes as you expeceted. :)

Thanks again,
