Duplicate FB_BLANK_ constants as LCD_POWER_ constants in the lcd
header file. Allows lcd drivers to avoid including the fbdev header
file and removes a compile-time dependency between the two subsystems.
The new LCD_POWER_ constants have the same values as their
FB_BLANK_ counterparts. Hence semantics does not change and the lcd
drivers can be converted one by one. Each instance of FB_BLANK_UNBLANK
becomes LCD_POWER_ON, each of FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN becomes LCD_POWER_OFF,
FB_BLANK_NORMAL becomes LCD_POWER_REDUCED and FB_BLANK_VSYNC_SUSPEND
becomes LCD_POWER_REDUCED_VSYNC_SUSPEND.
Lcd code or drivers do not use FB_BLANK_HSYNC_SUSPEND, so no
new constants for this is being added. The tokens LCD_POWER_REDUCED
and LCD_POWER_REDUCED_VSYNC_SUSPEND are deprecated and drivers should
replace them with LCD_POWER_ON and LCD_POWER_OFF.
See also commit a1cacb8a8e ("backlight: Add BACKLIGHT_POWER_ constants
for power states"), which added similar constants for backlight drivers.

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.
