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)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
