#1388: setting dcon to "dcon sleep" mode does not shut off panel in pre-b3

Writing 0x2 to the DCON Display Mode register (1) should enable DCON Sleep
Mode. Quoth the spec:
{{{
One key to the power efficiency of the DCON is its ability to enter a low
power state in which
the LCD is completely turned off, and the local SDRAM frame buffer is set
to self-refresh mode
this mode is known as DCON Sleep Mode (or just Sleep mode).
}}}
On b2, writing this bit would turn off the panel. On pre-b3, the panel
remains on. A quick way to reproduce this in OFW is:
{{{
ok dev screen
ok 2 mode!
}}}
The panel *should* shut off; it does not. Instead, the backlight shuts
off (which it should), video blanking is enabled (hence the black screen),
but the panel remains powered up.
