commit 564f1807379298dfdb12ed0d5b25fcb89c238527 upstream. The udlfb driver reprograms the hardware everytime the user switches the console, that makes quite unusable when working on the console. This patch makes the driver remember the videomode we are in and avoid reprogramming the hardware if we switch to the same videomode. We mask the "activate" field and the "FB_VMODE_SMOOTH_XPAN" flag when comparing the videomode, because they cause spurious switches when switching to and from the Xserver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
