[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 041/254] tty/vt: don't set font mappings on vc not supporting this

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Nov 25 2014 - 06:55:46 EST


3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 9e326f78713a4421fe11afc2ddeac07698fac131 upstream.

We can call this function for a dummy console that doesn't support
setting the font mapping, which will result in a null ptr BUG. So check
for this case and return error for consoles w/o font mapping support.
