From: Sven Schnelle <svens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit bec05f33ebc1006899c6d3e59a00c58881fe7626 upstream. sticon_build_attr() checked the reverse argument and flipped background and foreground color, but returned the non-reverse value afterwards. Fix this and also add two local variables for foreground and background color to make the code easier to read.
