From 19c80ae416f42991c764501ff2283b0294fd6b5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:44:09 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 01/10] fblog: new framebuffer kernel log dummy driver
Fblog displays all kernel log messages on all connected framebuffers. It
replaces fbcon when CONFIG_VT=n is selected. Its main purpose is to debug
boot problems by displaying the whole boot log on the screen. This patch
provides the first dummy module-init/deinit functions.
As is uses all the font and fb functions I placed it in
drivers/video/console. However, this means that we need to move the check
for CONFIG_VT in Makefile/Kconfig from drivers/video into
drivers/video/console as fblog does not depend on CONFIG_VT.

+ * Hence, this driver is neither optimized for speed, nor does it provide any
+ * fancy features like colored text output. After booting is done, the init
+ * process should set /sys/class/graphics/fblog/active to 0 which disables this

+ * This driver forcibly writes to the framebuffer while active, therefore, you
+ * cannot run other graphics applications simultaneously.
