I'm not sure if there is a way to tell Linux not to use VESA suspend
and powerdown modes. You might want to look into this first... 
Otherwise you can modify the driver to ignore Linux when it tells the
framebuffer to suspend and powerdown.

e.g.

/*
  *  Blank the screen if blank_mode != 0, else unblank. If blank == NULL
  *  then the caller blanks by setting the CLUT (Color Look Up Table) to all
  *  black. Return 0 if blanking succeeded, != 0 if un-/blanking failed due
  *  to e.g. a video mode which doesn't support it. Implements VESA suspend
  *  and powerdown modes on hardware that supports disabling hsync/vsync:
  *    blank_mode == 2: suspend vsync
  *    blank_mode == 3: suspend hsync
  *    blank_mode == 4: powerdown
  */
static int ts7kv_blank(int blank_mode, struct fb_info_gen *info)


Above is a snip from ts7kvfb.c.
