Hi,

On text-based systems the 'quiet' boot option will show printk levels
higher than CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET.  The displaying of the Tux logo
during boot can cause some consoles to lose display data and as a result
confuse the end user.

Do not display the Tux logo on systems that are in 'quiet' boot.

v2: It helps to commit all my changes before sending them.  Remove extra
bracket.
v3: buildbot error fix: fbcon can be built as part of a module so export console_printk

"logo" variable removal is an unrelated change which actually
changes the code behavior ("logo_shown" will be now modified
also for "vc != svc" and "info->fix.type = FB_TYPE_TEXT" cases).

Please either drop it or explain in the patch description why
it is a safe thing to do.
Hi Petr, I will drop it from the patch.

P.
Good question! I am not familiar with fbcon code but it seems
that there might be more instances and they share the behavior
via this variable.

Note that console_loglevel might get modified at anytime. What if
the first fbcon was initialized with a different loglevel?

You need printk Maintainers Ack on it.
I am fine with the added export (as a printk maintainer).
