Dear Greg,

I see that the review for 6.6.84-rc1 hasn't started yet, but as it was already available on [1], our CI has already tried to built it for ia64 in the morning. Unfortunately that failed - I assume due to the following **missing** upstream commit:

https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commi...

Build failure (see [2]):

``` [...] CC drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.o drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c: In function 'fb_console_setup': drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:478:33: error: 'fb_center_logo' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'fb_prepare_logo'? 478 | fb_center_logo = true; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | fb_prepare_logo drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:478:33: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:485:33: error: 'fb_logo_count' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'file_count'? 485 | fb_logo_count = simple_strtol(options, &options, 0); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ | file_count make[8]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.o] Error 1 [...] ```

[3] (fa671e4f1556e2c18e5443f777a75ae041290068 upstream) includes definitions for these variables, but they are guarded by CONFIG_LOGO. But in `drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c` those variables are used unguarded with 6.6.84-rc1. The above upstream commit (8887086) fixes that IIUC. Not build-tested yet, though.
