    [PATCH] Fix console blanking · d060a321
    Ville Syrjala authored
    
    
    Current console blanking code is broken.  It will first do a normal blank,
    then start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0, and then proceed
    to do the VESA blanking directly.  After the timer expires it will do the
    VESA blanking a second time.  Also the vesa_powerdown() function doesn't
    allow all VESA modes to be used.
    
    With this patch the behaviour is:
    1. Blank: vesa_off_interval != 0 -> Do normal blank
              vesa_off_interval == 0 -> Do VESA blank
    2. Start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0 and
       vesa_power_mode != 0.
    
    It also gets rid of the limiting vesa_powerdown() function.
