    parisc/sticon: Add user font support · 7ff3f14d
    Helge Deller authored
    This is a major rework of the sticon (parisc text console) driver in
    order to support user font support.
    
    Usually one want to use the stifb (parisc framebuffer driver) which is
    based on fbcon and does support fonts and colors, but some old machines
    (e.g. HP 730 workstations) don't provide a supported stifb graphic card,
    and for those user fonts are preferred.
    
    This patch drops unused code for software cursor and scrollback,
    enhances the debug output and adds better documentation.
    
    The code was tested on various machines with byte-mode and word-mode
    graphic cards on GSC- and PCI-busses.
