Not that it's my call, but we may want both; the first as a safety
measure to prevent an invalid cur_blink_jiffies ever being set, and the
second one to actually fix the initialisation of vc_cur_blink_ms (and
address the warning introduced by the first).

I guess we could just go with the latter for stable...

Cheers,
