On Falcon, Atari frame buffer initialization relies on preprogrammed register values. These register values are changed to blank the console.
Hence when using kexec to boot into a new kernel while the console is blanked, the new kernel cannot determine the current video configuration, and the Atari frame buffer driver fails to initialize: atafb: phys_screen_base 6ce000 screen_len 4096 Fix this by doing a straight-forward conversion of the driver to a platform device driver, and adding a shutdown handler that unblanks the display.
