[PATCH] fbcon: Avoid showing softcursor if font not available

[PATCH] fbcon: Avoid showing softcursor if font not available

[Helge Deller]

syzbot repored this bug in the softcursor code:

This fix let bit_cursor() bail out early when a font bitmap
isn't available yet.

When browsing the code I noticed another use of vc->vc_font.data.

bit_putcs_{un}aligned() access vc->vc_font.data too, so I wonder if
bit_putcs() should also check for vc->vc_font.data?
bit_putcs() is the only user of bit_putcs_{un}aligned.


The actual patch here looks good from a quick browsing around, but I
cannot claim I did a review. But you have my:

I think the font is set before any char is printed, so we should
probably be safe there.
