2017-09-04fbcon: remove restriction on margin colorDavid Lechner
This removes the restriction on the value range of the fbcon=margin: parameter. The color value really depends on the driver being used.

2017-08-18fbcon: add fbcon=margin:<color> command line optionDavid Lechner
This adds a new command line option to select the fbcon margin color. The motivation for this is screens where black does not blend into the physical surroundings of the screen. For example, using an LCD (not the backlit kind), white text on a black background is hard to read, so inverting the colors is preferred. However, when you do this, most of the screen is filled with white but the margins are still filled with black. This makes a big, black, backwards 'L' on the screen. By setting fbcon=margin:7, the margins will be filled with white and the LCD looks as expected.
