Also, width and height in console_font are unsigned int - that shouldn't matter that much though. [3/5] doesn't hunk properly without this patch, I'll send a v2 for [3/5] soon. Peilin

Oh this is actually a good reason, since that's the uapi structure. And so using the exact same signedness should help a bit with accidental casting bugs. If you mention this in the commit message I think this is good to go. -Daniel > > [3/5] doesn't hunk properly without this patch, I'll send a v2 for [3/5] > soon. > > Peilin >

Please ignore [v2 3/5], that doesn't hunk with this patch in effect... One newbie question, should I mention in the commit message, if a patch depends on another patch in the series in order to hunk properly? Peilin

It is improper to define `width` and `height` as signed in `struct font_desc`. Make them unsigned. Also, change the corresponding printk() format identifiers from `%d` to `%u`, in sti_select_fbfont().
