Hi, Matt
Confirmed, your patch work ok for the pr_cont issue.
Actually I mixed two problems in my report, one is there's always one blank line
at the bottom of screen, the other is the pr_cont issue. For the second problem
change >= to > looks better. For the previous problem still need to move the
hunk below to the beginning point of early_efi_write function. It just works for me
but I'm not sure why this is not necessary for other machines.
+ if (efi_y + font->height > si->lfb_height) {
+ u32 i;
+
+ efi_y -= font->height;
+ early_efi_scroll_up();
+
+ for (i = 0; i < font->height; i++)
+ early_efi_clear_scanline(efi_y + i);
+ }
