Can you remove the lines added in the diff one at a time
to figure out which specific parameter is involved?

panel_use_ssc
"Use Spread Spectrum Clock with panels [LVDS/eDP] "

enable_dc
"Enable power-saving display C-states. "

enable_fbc
"Enable frame buffer compression for power savings "

enable_psr
"Enable PSR " (Panel Self Refresh)

disable_power_well
"Disable display power wells when possible "

enable_ips
"Enable IPS" (Intermediate Pixel Storage)
