Backport request for commit 5326ab737a47 ("virtio_console: fix order of fields cols and rows")
Hi,
I would like to request backporting 5326ab737a47 ("virtio_console: fix order of fields cols and rows") to all LTS kernels.
I'm working on QEMU patches that add virtio console size support. Without the fix, rows and columns will be swapped.
As far as I know, there are no device implementations that use the wrong order and would by broken by the fix.
Note: A previous version [1] of the patch contained "Cc: stable" and "Fixes:" tags, but they seem to have been accidentally left out from the final version.

Thanks, Filip Hejsek

Sorry, that patch might actually end up being reverted, so please wait until this clears up. We are still debating whether the Linux implementation or the spec should be changed.
Best regards, Filip Hejsek

OK I sent a spec patch to make it match Linux. Let's see what is happening.
