Hidden in the unlock patch was a call to intel_lvds_disable from
intel_lvds_prepare -- that *always* turns off the LVDS for mode
setting. Do we care enough about LVDS mode setting performance that we
should try leave the optimization in place that doesn't turn off the
backlight when switching between modes?

Here's a replacement which unlocks the regs at init time for all
generations. This also includes the unconditional call to
intel_lvds_disable in the _prepare function. I could back that out if
you like.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] drm/i915: Leave LVDS registers unlocked

There's no reason to relock them; it just makes operations more
complex. This fixes DPMS where the panel registers were locked making
the disable not work.

We hate flicker right?  But generally yes it's safer to just turn it
off all the time.

Yeah looks like a nice improvement.
