[PATCH 0/5] fbdev: Remove use of VESA constants

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Fbdev and its drivers use FB_BLANK constants for controlling the display
blanking state in the fb_blank callback. Several drivers implement the
callback with VESA constants; thus mixing up semantics.

Update the drivers to use VESA constants instead.

Some background: the VESA constants describe DPMS levels for monitor
singal generation. VESA_NO_BLANKING means that the sync signals are on,
although the display adapter might not transfer meaningful pixel data.
The constants FB_BLANK_NORMAL represents this case in fbdev, while
FB_BLANK_UNBLANK represents enabled sync signal generation plus pixel
data. Fbdev drivers using VESA constants therefore often contain
off-by-one errors.
