Hi Daniel, Hi Greg, Hi all,

We are planning to use `font_desc` instead of `console_font` in `vc_data`,
and this is just some prep work for it. It doesn't do much, but at least
it removes two "FIXME"s in fbcon.c :)

Peilin Ye (5):
[1/5] fbdev/atafb: Remove unused extern variables

  Searching for `fontdata` gave me this in fbdev/atafb.c:

  extern unsigned char fontdata_8x8[];
  extern unsigned char fontdata_8x16[];

  ...which freaked me out, since in 6735b4632def ("Fonts: Support
  FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in fonts") I changed them from char
  arrays to structures, in lib/fonts/. Fortunately it turns out these
  extern variables have nothing to do with lib/fonts/, and are not being
  used anywhere, so remove them for less confusion.

  m68k cross-compiled.

[2/5] Fonts: Make font size unsigned in font_desc

  Our goal is to use `font_desc` "everywhere" in the kernel, and signed
  `width` and `height` is inappropriate.

  Also, change some printk() format identifiers in console/sticore.c from
  `%d` to `%u`. parisc cross-compiled.

[3/5] Fonts: Add charcount field to font_desc

  Add `unsigned int charcount` to `font_desc`, and update each of our 13
  built-in fonts.

[4/5] fbcon: Avoid hard-coding built-in font charcount
[5/5] parisc/sticore: Avoid hard-coding built-in font charcount

  Everyone (tty, fbcon, sticore, etc.) is assuming that all built-in fonts
  have 256 characters, and is using hard-coded 256 or 255 everywhere.
  These two patches removes some of them. [5/5] is parisc cross-compiled.

  Now is a good time to review all find_font() and get_default_font()
  callers:

  drivers/media/pci/solo6x10/solo6x10-enc.c      133 const struct font_desc *vga = find_font("VGA8x16");
  drivers/media/test-drivers/vimc/vimc-core.c    268 const struct font_desc *font = find_font("VGA8x16");
  drivers/media/test-drivers/vivid/vivid-core.c 1928 const struct font_desc *font = find_font("VGA8x16");
  drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c           2285 myfont = find_font("VGA8x16");
    * These 4 only care about font VGA8x16, so let them be for now;

  drivers/video/console/sticore.c                499 fbfont = find_font(fbfont_name);
  drivers/video/console/sticore.c                501 fbfont = get_default_font(1024,768, ~(u32)0, ~(u32)0);
    * Uses 255 and 256, (hopefully) cleaned up by [5/5];

  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c               999 if (!fontname[0] || !(font = find_font(fontname)))
  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c              1000 font = get_default_font(info->var.xres,
  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c              1078 if (!fontname[0] || !(font = find_font(fontname)))
  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c              1079 font = get_default_font(info->var.xres,
    * Use 256, cleaned up by [4/5];

  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c              2548 else if (!(f = find_font(name)))
  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c              2546 f = get_default_font(info->var.xres, info->var.yres,
    * Uses 256 but no easy fix. I'll clean this up after making
      fbcon_do_set_font() pass a `font_desc` as parameter;

  drivers/firmware/efi/earlycon.c               234 font = get_default_font(xres, yres, -1, -1);
    * Does not care about charcount.

Thank you!
Peilin Ye
