Description Uladzimir Bely 2016-10-04 10:15:32 UTC

genpatches-4.8-1.extras.tar.xz used by gentoo-sources doesn't include fbcondecor patch.
Due some changes in kernel tree previous patch doesn't applay to new kernel.


Reproducible: Always

Framebuffer console decoration support for kernel 4.8

Here is modified patch which works (at least for me)

Patch also has been reworked and now checked with (linux_src)/scripts/checkpatch.pl gives 0 errors, 80 warnings (were 122 errors, 153 warnings)
