Sure, I will take another look at them. Also sorry for the delay in that
printk() -> dev_*() patch you suggested, overwhelmed by some other
things this week. Sometimes fbcon.c accesses dev structs in a pretty
weird way (e.g. registered_fb[con2fb_map[vc->vc_num]]->dev), I will get
back to it when I understand this better.
Thanks,
