Subject: [PATCH] console blanking oops fix
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cc63b1e12b378c44e074571d5688c23be823b04c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] console blanking oops fix

When significant delays happen during boot (e.g.  with a kernel debugger,
but the problem has also seen in other cases) the timeout for blanking the
console may trigger, but the work scheduler may not have been initialized,
yet.  schedule_work() will oops over the null keventd_wq.
