This is breaks the abi slightly, but allows preserving the framebuffer contents across processes. Any system compositor or fbdev should take care of resetting the planes and mode anyway. Restoring a framebuffer requires a call to getfb, which checks for CAP_SYS_ADMIN, DRM_MASTER or access to the control file. Any of those require privileges, so this shouldn't be a security issue.
