+Subject: [PATCH 4/7] console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover
+
+Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over
+the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered.
+
+This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is
+desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer
+(typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is.
+
+The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not
+enable fbcon.
+
+This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option,
+which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy
+console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the
+"quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used
+together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as
+soon as e.g. an error message is logged.
+
+Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver,
+rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after
+2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon
+code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only
+feasible option.
