Re: [PATCH] fbcon: warn on invalid cursor blink intervals

Hi Ming,
Not sure this one is needed for stable because it justs dumps
a warning, and not set a valid period to ops->cur_blink_jiffies.

So I guess other fix patch is still required for the soft lockup
issue, right?
The main thing is that we don't set cur_blink_jiffies to the < 50ms
value. As far as I can tell, it means we'll still get the original
default, set in fbcon_startup():

	ops->cur_blink_jiffies = HZ / 5;

And so don't end up spinning on the timer expiry.

Cheers,


Jeremy
