fbcon_startup() and fbcon_init() are hard-coding the number of characters
of our built-in fonts as 256. Recently, we included that information in
our kernel font descriptor `struct font_desc`, so use `font->charcount`
instead of a hard-coded value.

This patch depends on patch "Fonts: Add charcount field to font_desc".

So I think this is correct, but it also doesn't do a hole lot yet. fbcon.c
still has tons of hard-coded 256 all over, and if (p->userfont).

I think if we instead set vc->vc_font.charcount both in fbcon_init and in
fbcon_do_set_font (probably just replace the userfont parameter with
font_charcount for now), then we could replace these all with
vc->vc_font.charcount. And the code would already improve quite a bit I
think.

With just this change here I think we have even more inconsistency, since
for built-in fonts vc->vc_font.charcount is now set correctly, but for
userfonts we need to instead look at FNTCHARCNT(vc->vc_font.data).

We'd still need to maintain p->userfont because of the refcount chaos, but
that is much more work.

Or do I miss something here?

You are right, let's remove FNTCHARCNT() altogether. fbcon_do_set_font()
still needs a userfont parameter for refcount handling, I'll just add a
charcount parameter to it.
