Right. So, here's an update...

Again, it would probably be best if this went in before 5.0 is released.

Changes since v1:
- rename from fbconÎnter-logo option to fbcon=logo-pos:center (and adjust
  the help text accordingly).

Cheers,
Peter

 line option

A command line option is much more flexible than a config option and
the supporting code is small. Gets rid of #ifdefs in the code too...

Patch queued for 5.0, thanks.

Hmm, I see the patch on the fbdev-for-next branch, but that sounds
like stuff destined for 5.1? Maybe you simply don't have any
fbdev-for-current or fbdev-fixes branch or something like that?

Yes. the single public fbdev branch has been sufficient for now
(there is no active fbdev development and patches for -rcX kernels
are even more rare). OTOH there is no problem with adding -fixes
branch once needed..
