How could putcs have become NULL ? Helge > ops->putcs(vc, info, s, count, real_y(p, ypos), xpos, > get_color(vc, info, scr_readw(s), 1), > get_color(vc, info, scr_readw(s), 0));

syzbot has found a NULL pointer dereference bug in fbcon [1]. This issue is caused by ops->putcs being a NULL pointer. We need to check the pointer before using it.
