Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like
I would like to see an option to put the ST7701S display driver in 'Sleep in' mode.
In this mode, the DC/DC converter, internal oscillator and panel driver circuit are stopped.
Currently there is already a pause/resume function from LVGL including a function to prevent burn-in of the LCD.
But if the screen is off anyway, wouldn't it be better to just turn it off?
Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:
I would like to use a couple of Guidance ESP32-S3-4848S040 screens as a thermostat.
Low power consumption means less heat and therefore better temperature measurement.
(And removed this->spi_teardown(); from ST7701S::write_init_sequence_())
Simply called at the same time as turning on/off the backlight and it works perfectly fine.
But just throwing in some code is not enough for a neat integration.
USB power consumption:
Backlight off, LVGL pause with snow: +- 90mA
Backlight off, ST7701S 'Sleep in' mode, LVGL pause (without snow, as screen is powered down anyway): +- 60mA

The spi_teardown() is there because some boards have the SPI pins reused for display driver pins, so have to be released after the chip is setup and before the RGB driver is configured.

Additional context
I tested a very simple code:
(And removed
this->spi_teardown();
fromST7701S::write_init_sequence_()
)Simply called at the same time as turning on/off the backlight and it works perfectly fine.
But just throwing in some code is not enough for a neat integration.
