So you don't see::

[   20.786285] td028ttec1_panel_enable()
[   20.790069] gta04_enable_lcd()

at all?

That is strange - I do.

What do you find in   
    /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/

In particular, what is 'enabled' ?

The only reason I can see for it no running td028ttec1_panel_enable is if
it thinks the panel is already enabled.

I'll add that to my list ;-)
