Hi -

I'm running

Linux version 4.18.11-00385-g997d1697a591

which is HEAD from March 5th... how to bring up the LCD + backlight from 
the commandline?

Eg,

# echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/backlight_dsi/bl_power
# echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/backlight_dsi/brightness

doesn't buy me anything.

# chvt 2

shows it spawned an agetty on the VT, but nothing displayed.

/sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty2 linux

Is it written somewhere how to bring up the display with current kernels?

-Andy
