blit_x and blit_y are uint32_t, so fbcon currently cannot support fonts

"u32" you mean, right?
The 32x32 case also needs shifting an unsigned int, to properly set bit
31, otherwise we get "UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fbcon_set_font",
as reported on

Odd blank line?

Are you sure this is still needed with the above check added?  If so,
why?  What is the difference in the compiled code?

thanks,
