This is a fix for the most annoying problem that remained with neofb:
After "setterm -powersave powerdown" the console blanker will disable the
backlight after the given timeout expires. If this happens after the lid
has been shut, we read "LCD off" from the register and store that in the
driver. Once the lid is opened, the backlight turns on, but any key press
that would awaken the blanked console will switch the backlight off again.
The workaround so far was to use the "display config toggle" Fn key combo -
once if no external display is attached, otherwise as often as required to
restore the desired display setup.
The following patch fixes the issue at least for the LCD-only case, with no
external monitor attached. Other display setup permutations are pending
further testing, but so far I can guarantee at least no negative change in
behaviour, if any at all.

CONFIG_FB = m and CONFIG_{BACKLIGHT:LCD}_CLASS_DEVICE = y is possible
resulting in link errors. Fix by making backlight and lcd class also depend
on FB

regs.lcdcon1 was not updated on suspend. The result was a garbaged display on
resume. This bug was first noticed by Christer Weinigel. This patch is a
modified version of the one he sent to me.

Delay the update of the visible framebuffer console until all other consoles
have been initialized in order to avoid losing information. This only seems
to be a problem with modules, not with built-in drivers.

- As per VESA specs, use the VGA registers to set the palette if the mode is
VGA compatible. Otherwise, use the protected mode interface.
- Make pmi_setpal default to 1

Fix image and color handling in atyfb_cursor()
- In the 2-bit scheme of the cursor image, just set the first bit to be
always zero (turn off transparency and/or XOR), and just do the masking
manually
- The cursor color is converted into 32-bit RGBA8888 using struct fb_cmap.
Each component in the cmap is u16 in size, so mask the upper 8 bits.

nVidia is churning out chipsets like there's no tomorrow. And even though the
pci_device_id table now has numerous entries, it is still not guaranteed that
all supported devices are included or will be included.
Fortunately, nvidiafb has chipset detection logic built in. So, change the
contents of the pci_device_id table so it will capture all nVidia devices of
the display class. Unsupported chipsets will then be filtered out by
nvidiafb's detection logic.
