Dear all,

Since dx or dy in struct fb_image is unsigned 32 bit integer:

struct fb_image {
__u32 dx; /* Where to place image */
__u32 dy;
   ...
}

In fb_do_show_logo(), image->dx or image->dy will always meet the >= 0
condition.
if the logo is large enough (same as to the whole screen, for example) and
rotate is UD or CCW, and image->dx or image->dy will results in a
large value which
makes info->fbops->fb_imageblit fail miserably.

Here is the raw patch:

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
