Subject: fbdev: save the activate field before calling fb_check_var()
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~34231
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4941cb7a18fd84d4d8cd097d2beada3c79c8f781;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

fbdev: save the activate field before calling fb_check_var()

Some drivers may reset the var->activate field on fb_check_var(). This can
lead to undefined behavior. For example, doing fbset -a <option> with vga16fb
will only modify the active console instead of modifying all.
