Right. but at least, we could avoid the flicker on the screen in case of
Exynos drm framework because we could control lcd and display controller
power respectively.  i.e. it turns lcd power off and display controller
power on. Thus, Exynos framework can do it instead of specific drivers.
Anyway it's a good as is. But I hope more generic way would come up later.

Now your patch set are being tested and will be merged if no problem
because it's best for now.

Thanks,
