Re:Re: Re:[PATCH 7.0] fbdev: fbcon: fix memory leak in error path of fbcon_do_set_font()

Why not just take the same upstream commits for older kernels as well?

Whenever you do "one off" patches like this, it makes backporting future
changes/fixes almost impossible, and we almost always get it wrong.  So
backporting the same changes is almost always the best idea.

Also note that the 7.0.y kernel is long end-of-life.

Hi Greg,

Understood. Thanks for the explanation and for letting me know.

I will drop this patch since 7.0 is EOL, and I will make sure 
to stick to upstream commits for future backports.

Best regards,
Mingyu
