As the ht16k33 frame buffer sub-driver does not register an
fb_ops.fb_blank() handler, blanking does not work:
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
sh: write error: Invalid argument
Fix this by providing a handler that always returns zero, to make sure
blank events will be sent to the actual device handling the backlight.
