omapfb does not currently set pseudo palette correctly for color depths
above 16bpp, making red text invisible, command like
  echo -e '\e[0;31mRED' > /dev/tty1
will display nothing on framebuffer console in 24bpp mode.
This is because temporary variable is declared incorrectly, fix it.

Thanks, applied to OMAP DSS tree.

Is it also applicable to stable?
If yes, Tomi, can you please add the Cc tag?

Thanks

Yes, the bug has been there from the beginning.

I can add the Cc tag. But I wonder is it enough just to have the tag, or
should I also send the patch forward? And does it only get applied to
the latest stable tree, not the earlier ones?

Well, the Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt says:

 - To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the tag
     Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
   in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to
   the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author
   or subsystem maintainer.
 
So I guess, you don't need to resend it.

Also, IIUC, if you can identify all the stable kernels it applies to,
you can specify them like:
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.x, 2.6.x
This can save some work for those responsible for adding the patch to stable.
Now, if you say, it is applicable to all kernels since the omapfb support was
merged, I think, the above example it the right choice.

Anyway, Greg, please correct me if I've got anything wrong.

Thanks
