I have connected a battery to BBB in order to provide safe shutdown on 
power failure but am looking to find out how to shutdown the LCD4 cape 
until power is re-inserted.

Currently if I execute a shutdown -h now command, the BBB shutsdown but LCD 
stays lit (with lots of garble on screen). I have also tried setting 
brightness to zero by writing '0' to backlight brightness variable (in 
device tree) but this doesn't blank the LCD (it dims, but not blanks).

Short of adding a switch controlled by GPIO I'd like to see if there is s/w 
only solution to shutting down LCD.

Thanks
Colin
