[PATCH v3 6/7] vgacon: Implement struct consw.con_unblank

From: Thomas Zimmermann

Date: Fri Oct 23 2026 - 09:30:25 EST


Implement con_unblank from struct consw with the VESA_NO_BLANKING
case from vgacon_blank(). The new function is called vgacon_unblank().
Remove the duplicated code from vgacon_blank().

v3:
- take mode_switch from parameter
- restore vga_is_gfx setting
