Subject: [PATCH] vt: Delay the update of the visible console
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ee1acce49d616e0e3fbff76fa1dea0c7350535d;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[PATCH] vt: Delay the update of the visible console

Delay the update of the visible framebuffer console until all other consoles
have been initialized in order to avoid losing information.  This only seems
to be a problem with modules, not with built-in drivers.
