Two current [1] and three previous [2] systems locked during boot because the cursor flash timer was set using an ops->cur_blink_jiffies value of 0. Previous patches attempted to solve the problem by moving variable initialization earlier in the setup sequence [2]. Use the normal cursor blink default interval of 200 ms if ops->cur_blink_jiffies is not in the range specified in commit bd63364caa8d. Since invalid values are not used, specific system initialization timings should not cause lockups.
