Signal vt subsystem to redraw console when switching to dummycon
with deferred takeover enabled. Makes the console switch to fbcon
and displays the available output.
With deferred takeover enabled, dummycon acts as the placeholder
until the first output to the console happens. At that point, fbcon
takes over. If the output happens while dummycon is not active, it
cannot inform fbcon. This is the case if the vt subsystem runs in
graphics mode.
A typical graphical boot starts plymouth, a display manager and a
compositor; all while leaving out dummycon. Switching to a text-mode
console leaves the console with dummycon even if a getty terminal
has been started.
Returning true from dummycon's con_switch helper signals the vt
subsystem to redraw the screen. If there's output available dummycon's
con_putc{s} helpers trigger deferred takeover of fbcon, which sets a
display mode and displays the output. If no output is available,
dummycon remains active.

- make the comment slightly more verbose (Javier)

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 reStructuredText 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.
