Hi Linus,

please pull two more fbdev fixes for 6.17-rc1:

One patch reverts a previous stable tree patch which broke the VGA console,
the other fixes an out-of-bounds access bug which may happen during console
resizing when a console is mapped to a frame buffer.

Both patches are tagged for stable series.

Thanks,
Helge
