Greetings,

I got the below dmesg and the first bad commit is

commit 5845b81bdad374f98f809a658ec747d92c9595c4
Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@...hat.com>
Date:   Fri Feb 8 12:07:01 2013 +1000

    Revert "Revert "console: implement lockdep support for console_lock""
    
    This reverts commit ff0d05bf73620eb7dc8aee7423e992ef87870bdf.
    
    Now that we have all the locking fixes in place, we can revert the
    revert. This re-enables lockdep tracking for the console lock,
    daee779718a319ff9f83e1ba3339334ac650bb22.
