The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From f235f664a8afabccf863a5dee4777d2d7b676fda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scot Doyle Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2015 15:08:10 +0000 Subject: fbcon: initialize blink interval before calling fb_set_par Since commit 27a4c827c34ac4256a190cc9d24607f953c1c459 fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt a PPC64LE kernel fails to boot when fbcon_add_cursor_timer uses an uninitialized ops->cur_blink_jiffies.
