DCON sleep

The DCON can be put to sleep (ie - blanked). This is useful for those times when the system should stay up, but the DCON is drawing too much power. To put it to sleep:

echo "1" > /sys/devices/platform/dcon/sleep 

and to wake back up:

echo "0" > /sys/devices/platform/dcon/sleep

This is particularly useful when combined with the lid events (above).
