The Video Pattern Generator was being temporarily enabled during
VPL_ENABLE to work around panel initialization timeouts on the Sitronix
ST7703 of the Powkiddy RGB30. The root cause was a sync polarity
that has been fixed in the previous commit, so this hack can now go away.
This fixes a regression for the STM32MP157C-DK2: Enabling the VPG at the
point we did, caused the panel to synchronize to a wrong start offset and
led to a funny effect with the barebox logo that's shown by default:
On subsequent reboots, the display output would start at different
locations and so the logo would wander around and because the color
format is RGB888, the hexagon inside the barebox logo b would keep
switching between red, green and blue.
