Subject: [PATCH 4.14 171/251] auxdisplay: ht16k33: Fix frame buffer device blanking

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@...ux-m68k.org>

[ Upstream commit 840fe258332544aa7321921e1723d37b772af7a9 ]

As the ht16k33 frame buffer sub-driver does not register an
fb_ops.fb_blank() handler, blanking does not work:

    $ echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
    sh: write error: Invalid argument

Fix this by providing a handler that always returns zero, to make sure
blank events will be sent to the actual device handling the backlight.
