Subject[PATCH 2/2] console: fix up ARM screen_info reference
Date
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Separating the VGA console screen_info from the EFI one unfortunately
caused a build failure for footbridge that I had never caught
with randconfig builds:

arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:932:27: error: static declaration of 'vgacon_screen_info' follows non-static declaration
932 | static struct screen_info vgacon_screen_info = {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:44:
arch/arm/include/asm/setup.h:40:27: note: previous declaration of 'vgacon_screen_info' with type 'struct screen_info'
40 | extern struct screen_info vgacon_screen_info;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/video/console/dummycon.o: in function `dummycon_init':
dummycon.c:(.text+0xe4): undefined reference to `screen_info'

Make sure the variable is global to avoid the conflict with the extern
declaration, and make it work in dummycon.c

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Greg, this was caused by patch "vgacon: clean up global screen_info
instances" in tty-testing. You can either apply this patch on top or fold
it into that, or I can just resend the fixed series if you prefer.
