fbcon can deal with vc_hi_font_mask (the upper 256 chars) and adjust the vc attrs dynamically when vc_hi_font_mask is changed at fbcon_init(). When the vc_hi_font_mask is set, it remaps the attrs in the existing console buffer with one bit shift up (for 9 bits), while it remaps with one bit shift down (for 8 bits) when the value is cleared. It works fine as long as the font gets updated after fbcon was initialized. However, we hit a bizarre problem when the console is switched to another fb driver (typically from vesafb or efifb to drmfb). At switching to the new fb driver, we temporarily rebind the console to the dummy console, then rebind to the new driver. During the switching, we leave the modified attrs as is. Thus, the new fbcon takes over the old buffer as if it were to contain 8 bits chars (although the attrs are still shifted for 9 bits), and effectively this results in the yellow color texts instead of the original white color, as found in the bugzilla entry below. An easy fix for this is to re-adjust the attrs before leaving the fbcon at con_deinit callback. Since the code to adjust the attrs is already present in the current fbcon code, in this patch, we simply factor out the relevant code, and call it from fbcon_deinit().

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
