There is no need to directly skip over to the SCROLL_REDRAW case while the logo is still shown. When using DRM, this change has no effect because the code will reach the SCROLL_REDRAW case immediately anyway. But if you run an accelerated fbdev driver and have FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_LEGACY_ACCELERATION enabled, console scrolling is slowed down by factors so that it feels as if you use a 9600 baud terminal. So, drop those unnecessary checks and speed up fbdev console acceleration during bootup. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
I'm not entirely sure this is 100% perfect, but I don't think it'll make anything worse, so Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <redacted> I'm assuming you'll push this to drm-misc-fixes? I pinged drm-misc maintainers to make sure that tree is forwarded to -rc1. -Daniel
