drm/ast: Blank with VGACR17 sync enable, always clear VGACRB6 sync off
Blank the display by disabling sync pulses with VGACR17<7>. Unblank by reenabling them. This VGA setting should be supported by all Aspeed hardware. Ast currently blanks via sync-off bits in VGACRB6. Not all BMCs handle VGACRB6 correctly. After disabling sync during a reboot, some BMCs do not reenable it after the soft reset. The display output remains dark. When the display is off during boot, some BMCs set the sync-off bits in VGACRB6, so the display remains dark. Observed with Blackbird AST2500 BMCs. Clearing the sync-off bits unconditionally fixes these issues. Also do not modify VGASR1's SD bit for blanking, as it only disables GPU access to video memory. v2: - init vgacrb6 correctly (Jocelyn) Signed-off-by:Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Fixes: ce3d99c8 ("drm: Call drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() at shutdown time for misc drivers") Tested-by:
