Julius Werner 1c8e91f21a libpayload: video: Check for 'console' pointer before dereferencing it
Seems that the 'if (cursor_enabled)' check in
video_console_fixup_cursor() that was removed in chromium.org 1f880bca0 really
meant to check for 'if (console)'. Looks like the whole video console
driver is built extra robust to not fail no matter how screwed up the
console is, so let's add this missing check here as well. Also fixed up
a few other missing 'if (!console)' checks while I'm at it.

However, what payloads should really be doing is check the return value
of video_(console_)init() and not call the other video functions if that
failed. This also adapts video_console_init() to correctly pass through
the return value for that purpose (something that seems to have been
overlooked in the dd9e4e58 refactoring).

BUG=chrome-os-partner:28494
TEST=None. I don't know what Dave did to trigger this in the first
place, but it's pretty straight-forward.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
