Comment(by nicolas.dufresne):

 Ok, as I said, the patch does not fix the issue, it hides it. Still, I can
 rework this patch to make it cleaner, maybe I could only include the patch
 and get rid of the display_onoff rework (which was the original thing I
 wanted to submit until I figured-out that it was better to work on latest
 kernel)

 What the patch currently doe:
 - Moves display_onoff into proper state transitions (aside double display
 off bug, thanks to ankostis)
 - Disable going into deep_sleep (this is tricky since at boot we assume we
 are in deep_sleep)

 Instead of this patch, we could just add a sys entry to disable (at
 runtime) deep sleep of this chip. This way we keep it for devices that are
 not affected and with a small shell script we could disable it for affect
 devices. As boot is already done when set, we no longer need the obscure
 static variable.


 (For binary images, I would prefer if someone from OpenMoko choose if it's
 worth it and verify that no damage will be cause to the devices.)
