[PATCH 4.14 47/94] fbcon: remove soft scrollback code

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 13:02:33 EST

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 50145474f6ef4a9c19205b173da6264a644c7489 upstream.

This (and the VGA soft scrollback) turns out to have various nasty small
special cases that nobody really is willing to fight. The soft
scrollback code was really useful a few decades ago when you typically
used the console interactively as the main way to interact with the
machine, but that just isn't the case any more.

So it's not worth dragging along.
