Before this patch the enable signal was set before the PWM signal and
vice-versa on power off. This sequence is wrong, at least, it is on
the different panels datasheets that I checked, so I inverted the sequence
to follow the specs.

For reference the following panels have the mentioned sequence:
  - N133HSE-EA1 (Innolux)
  - N116BGE (Innolux)
  - N156BGE-L21 (Innolux)
  - B101EAN0 (Auo)
  - B101AW03 (Auo)
  - LTN101NT05 (Samsung)
  - CLAA101WA01A (Chunghwa)

Changes since v4:
 - Rebase on top of mainline.
 - Add the acks from Daniel Thompson and Jingoo Han.
Changes since v3:
 - List the part numbers for the panel checked (Daniel Thompson)
Changes since v2:
 - Add this as a separate patch (Thierry Reding)
Changes since v1:
 - None

I'm surprised that panels even care about this. Do you see actual
breakage if these are the other way around?

Anyway, this seems to me as legit as the other way around, so:

At least the B116XTN02 requires enable first the PWM, wait 10ms and then BL_EN
to avoid garbage. I did not observe the issue on other panels but the datasheets
I checked specifies this sequence as correct.
