The commit-msg lacks any discussion why this change is done. What is
the reason to do that? Isn't the kernel-command-line enough? Why is
this a regular feature instead of a debugfs attribute?

"const char *" or gcc might warn on string assignments.

This really looks like a debug-feature to me. If it's a real feature,
we _must_ rescan connectors here, otherwise it seems odd writing "on"
into that file but nothing happens until the next modeset.
