+/**
+ * struct drm_panel_funcs - perform operations on a given panel
+ * @disable: disable panel (turn off back light, etc.)
+ * @unprepare: turn off panel
+ * @prepare: turn on panel and perform set up
+ * @enable: enable panel (turn on back light, etc.)
+ * @get_modes: add modes to the connector that the panel is attached to and
+ * return the number of modes added
+ *
+ * The .prepare() function is typically called before the display controller
+ * starts to transmit video data. Panel drivers can use this to turn the panel
+ * on and wait for it to become ready. If additional configuration is required
+ * (via a control bus such as I2C, SPI or DSI for example) this is a good time
+ * to do that.
+ *
+ * After the display controller has started transmitting video data, it's safe
+ * to call the .enable() function. This will typically enable the backlight to
+ * make the image on screen visible. Some panels require a certain amount of
+ * time or frames before the image is displayed. This function is responsible
+ * for taking this into account before enabling the backlight to avoid visual
+ * glitches.
+ *
+ * Before stopping video transmission from the display controller it can be
+ * necessary to turn off the panel to avoid visual glitches. This is done in
+ * the .disable() function. Analogously to .enable() this typically involves
+ * turning off the backlight and waiting for some time to make sure no image
+ * is visible on the panel. It is then safe for the display controller to
+ * cease transmission of video data.
+ *
+ * To save power when no video data is transmitted, a driver can power down
+ * the panel. This is the job of the .unprepare() function.
