fbcon toggles cursor display state every 200 milliseconds when blinking.
Since users prefer different toggle intervals, expose the interval via
/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink_ms so that it may be customized.
Values written to the interface set the approximate time interval in
milliseconds between cursor toggles, from 1 to 32767. Since the interval
is stored internally as a number of jiffies, the millisecond value read
from the interface may not exactly match the entered value.
An outstanding blink timer is reset after a new value is entered.
If the cursor blink is disabled, either via the 'cursor_blink' boolean
setting or some other mechanism, the 'cursor_blink_ms' setting may still
be modified. The new value will be used if the blink is reactivated.

I don't think the above typecast is needed. I can remove the typecast
when applying to my tree.
So queuing for 3.21. Thanks!
