kernel maintainers - please review and commit patch in #528232

[Marius Andreiana]

Hi all,

There's a long standing bug which prevents FC14 to boot on most EFI systems
:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528232

Would a knowledgeable kernel developer please review the patch for
drivers/video/efifb.c and commit it?

Thanks in advance for your help

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528232#c37 is in fact
authored by one of the Fedora kernel maintainers, so it would seem
they're already on it.

Looks like Chuck missed it, I just committed it to F-14.

Would it be possible please to commit the rest of the patch in the same bug
report, and fix the bug described there?
(the exact location and code lines with issue&fix are included)

If this patch gets in later than FC14 as an update, it doesn't help as FC14
can't boot at all now.

Thanks!
