Since 4c7ffe0b9f7f40bd818fe3af51342f64c483908e ("fbdev: prevent drivers
that have hardware cursors from calling software cursor code") every call
of i810fb_cursor fails with -ENXIO because of a incorrect "!".

This hasn't striked until eaa0ff15c30dc9799eb4d12660edb73aeb6d32c5 ("fix
! versus & precedence in various places") surrounded the expression with
braces, so that the intended behavior was inverted. That caused 'pixel
waste' - the same line of multi-colored pixels repeated over the whole
screen - during console switch.

This switches back to the original pre-4c7ffe0 behavior.

Can you please confirm that this actually fixes the bug?  That wasn't
clear.

Thanks.
Yes, yesterday I worked the whole day with that machine running -rc6 + my 
patch. The regression definitely is fixed, fbi and fbset work w/o problems or 
new regressions.
