* Framebuffer Subsystem (fbdev):
* The display's blanking status is now tracked in `struct fb_info`
* `framebuffer_alloc()` initializes the blank state to `FB_BLANK_UNBLANK`
* `register_framebuffer()` sets the state to `FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN` if an `fb_blank`
callback exists, ensuring `FB_EVENT_BLANK` listeners correctly see the display
being turned on during the first modeset
* The `FB_EVENT_BLANK` event data now includes both the new and the old blank states
* Qualcomm WLED Backlight:
* Added a NULL check after `devm_kasprintf()` in `wled_configure()` to prevent a
potential NULL pointer dereference if memory allocation fails
* Framebuffer Subsystem (fbdev):
* `fb_blank()` has been reworked to return early on errors, without functional
changes, in preparation for further state tracking improvements
* Fbdev now calls dedicated functions in the backlight subsystems to notify them
of blank state changes, instead of relying on fbdev event notifiers
* For LCDs, fbdev also calls a dedicated function to notify of mode changes
* Backlight Subsystem:
* Implemented fbdev blank state tracking using the (newly enhanced) blank state
information provided directly by `FB_EVENT_BLANK`
* Removed internal blank state tracking fields (`fb_bl_on`) from
`struct backlight_device`
* Moved the handling of blank-state updates into a separate internal helper
function, `backlight_notify_blank()`
* Removed support for fbdev events and replaced it with a dedicated function call
interface (`backlight_notify_blank()` and `backlight_notify_blank_all()`) for
display drivers to update backlight status
* LCD Subsystem:
* Moved the handling of display updates (blank events and mode changes) from
fbdev event notifiers to separate internal helper functions (`lcd_notify_blank`,
`lcd_notify_mode_change`)
* Removed support for fbdev events and replaced it with dedicated function call
interfaces (`lcd_notify_blank_all()`, `lcd_notify_mode_change_all()`)

* LED Backlight Trigger:
* Moved the handling of blank-state updates into a separate internal helper,
`ledtrig_backlight_notify_blank()`
* Removed support for fbdev events and replaced it with a dedicated function call,
`ledtrig_backlight_blank()`, for fbdev to notify trigger of blank state changes
* The LED backlight trigger now maintains its own internal list of triggers
instead of relying on fbdev notifiers
* Framebuffer Subsystem (fbdev):
* Removed the definitions for the unused fbdev event constants
`FB_EVENT_MODE_CHANGE` and `FB_EVENT_BLANK` from the header file
