There's an 'inverse' option in amifb, atafb, imstt, macfb, matroxfb,

framebuffer console. Does anyone know what this option is/was used for?
To invert the console? ;-)
Calling fb_invert_cmaps() inverts the default colormaps, and is thus intended
to have an effect on the frame buffer console.
If this no longer works (due to some refactoring during the past +20 years?),
that's a bug.
