The patch that changed it is below... and I must say I liked the old
behaviour better. Unlike blinking, high-brightness background is
actually useful. Can we get that one reverted?

    fbcon: bgcolor fix

    intensity bit, as for the foreground color.  Therefore it
shouldn't be
    included in the background color.
