Re: [PATCH] fbcon: warn on invalid cursor blink intervals

From: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

Hi Scot,
Two systems are locking on boot [1] because ops->cur_blink_jiffies
is set to zero from vc->vc_cur_blink_ms.

Ignore such invalid intervals and log a warning.
This prevents a lockup on AST BMC machines, but (as expected) generates
a warning against the fbcon driver, which is a significantly better
result.

Tested-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

[now to sort out the issue in the ast driver...]

Cheers,


Jeremy
