that was not what it was created for and it was on purpose. That is not
what we need when enabling a platform. The argument that *users* would
then be left in a situation that the display hardware is still consuming
power is IMO wrong as those *users* are not supposed to be using module
parameters and if they do, it's their only responsibility.

The module parameter here is for kernel developers and CI/validation,
particularly when enabling a new platform, to decide if the display side
should be enabled or not.
