In a whole pile of panel drivers, we have code to make the
prepare/unprepare/enable/disable callbacks behave as no-ops if they've
already been called. It's silly to have this code duplicated
everywhere. Add it to the core instead so that we can eventually
delete it from all the drivers. Note: to get some idea of the
duplicated code, try:
  git grep 'if.*>prepared' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel
  git grep 'if.*>enabled' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel

NOTE: arguably, the right thing to do here is actually to skip this
patch and simply remove all the extra checks from the individual
drivers. Perhaps the checks were needed at some point in time in the
past but maybe they no longer are? Certainly as we continue
transitioning over to "panel_bridge" then we expect there to be much
less variety in how these calls are made. When we're called as part of
the bridge chain, things should be pretty simple. In fact, there was
some discussion in the past about these checks [1], including a
discussion about whether the checks were needed and whether the calls
ought to be refcounted. At the time, I decided not to mess with it
because it felt too risky.

Looking closer at it now, I'm fairly certain that nothing in the
existing codebase is expecting these calls to be refcounted. The only
real question is whether someone is already doing something to ensure
prepare()/unprepare() match and enabled()/disable() match. I would say
that, even if there is something else ensuring that things match,
there's enough complexity that adding an extra bool and an extra
double-check here is a good idea. Let's add a drm_warn() to let people
know that it's considered a minor error to take advantage of
drm_panel's double-checking but we'll still make things work fine.

We'll also add an entry to the official DRM todo list to remove the
now pointless check from the panels after this patch lands and,
eventually, fixup anyone who is triggering the new warning.

This has Neil's Ack and Maxime's review and I could commit it to
drm-misc-next, but for now I'm holding off to land with the rest of
this series since the second drm patch in my series depends on this
one.

Once this lands somewhere, I'll take the action item to post patches
to delete the now pointless checks in the individual panels.

Changes in v4:
- Document further cleanup in the official DRM todo list.

+Clean up checks for already prepared/enabled in panels
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+In a whole pile of panel drivers, we have code to make the
+prepare/unprepare/enable/disable callbacks behave as no-ops if they've already
+been called. To get some idea of the duplicated code, try:
+  git grep 'if.*>prepared' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel
+  git grep 'if.*>enabled' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel
+
+In the patch ("drm/panel: Check for already prepared/enabled in drm_panel")
+we've moved this check to the core. Now we can most definitely remove the
+check from the individual panels and save a pile of code.
+
+In adition to removing the check from the individual panels, it is believed
+that even the core shouldn't need this check and that should be considered
+an error if other code ever relies on this check. The check in the core
+currently prints a warning whenever something is relying on this check with
+dev_warn(). After a little while, we likely want to promote this to a
+WARN(1) to help encourage folks not to rely on this behavior.
