The current con_font_get/set API currently hardcodes a 32-pixel-tall limitation, which only dates from the old VGA hardware which could not handle taller fonts than that. This change just adds a vpitch parameter to release this constraint. Drivers which do not support vpitch != 32 can just return EINVAL when it is not 32, font loading tools will revert to trying 32 and succeed. This change makes the fbcon driver consider vpitch appropriately, thus making it able to load large fonts.

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.
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.
