7e3711eb87 fbdev: Track display blanking state 
Store the display's blank status in struct fb_info.blank and track
it in fb_blank(). As an extra, the status is now available from the
sysfs blank attribute.

Support for blanking is optional. Therefore framebuffer_alloc()
initializes the state to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK (i.e., the display is
on). If the fb_blank callback has been set, register_framebuffer()
sets the state to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN. On the first modeset, the
call to fb_blank() will update it to _UNBLANK. This is important,
as listeners to FB_EVENT_BLANK will now see the display being
switched on.

c07e1f20dc fbdev: Document that framebuffer_alloc() returns zero'ed data 
Most fbdev drivers depend on framebuffer_alloc() to initialize the
allocated memory to 0. Document this guarantee.

f0f6839be4 fbdev/core: Move framebuffer and backlight helpers into separate files 
Move framebuffer and backlight helpers into separate files. Leave
fbsysfs.c to sysfs-related code. No functional changes.

The framebuffer helpers are not in fbmem.c because they are under
GPL-2.0-or-later copyright, while fbmem.c is GPL-2.0.

v2:
	* include <linux/mutex.h> (Sam)
