Here is my debug message about the efifb params (all hex values):
[ 0.000000] efi fb lfb width: 280
[ 0.000000] efi fb lfb height: 1e0
[ 0.000000] efi fb lfb base: e0000000
[ 0.000000] efi fb lfb linelength: a00
[ 0.000000] efi fb font height: 10
[ 0.000000] efi fb font width: 8
The problem looks related to the pr_cont(), here is what I observed:
[ 0.000000] efi: EFI v2.00 by Lenovo
ACPI=0xdabfe000 ACPI 2.0=0xdabfe014 SMBIOS=0xdaa9e000
[ 0.000000] efi:
After relooking the code, below fix is more reasonable than my original one,
But I still confused why it only happens on this machine.
