Yes the drivers should always have priority. The other stuff is there
only if the drivers have no power management of any kind. I leave it up to
the driver write to implement a fb_blank function that handles different
cases.

The drivers don't have priority though.  You call set_par, and then
wander off into the internals of fbgen.c to set can_soft_blank youself,
without giving the drivers any look-in to set that correctly.

Your right. That is a bug from the old fbgen code. Since few driver used
the old fbgen code it never appeared. I suggest we remove can_soft_blank
and just test to see if the function pointer exist for fb_blank. If it
doesn't then we can resort to other tricks in suggested in the ther email.
