Hi Greg,

Sorry for the confusion. I’m requesting stable maintainers to cherry-pick this patch into stable 5.4 and 5.8.

    video: fbdev: fix divide error in fbcon_switch

I do not see that commit in Linus's tree, do you?

It's in drm-misc-next, IIUC heading for Linus' tree in the next merge
window in 6-8 weeks. Which is to say this should probably have been
applied to drm-misc-fixes branch heading for v5.10-rcX, with a Cc:
stable tag, to begin with.

Ok, nothing I can do with this now, please email stable@vger.kernel.org
when it hits Linus's tree and we can take it then.

Saeed, please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

thanks,

greg k-h
