Hello, I believe that this commit has caused a problem for my Lenovo 
C330 Chromebook running postmarketOS.

With kernel 6.11 this device didn't show any text on the tty or splash 
screen during booting, but graphical environments (wayland, xorg) do 
appear. With a few bisects I found it to be this commit. With it 
reverted I'm able to get text on the tty again.

The kernel config is here: 
https://gitlab.com/adamthiede/pmaports/-/tree/mt8173-611/device/community/linux-postmarketos-mediatek-mt8173/
To be perfectly clear, this device is not running Chrome OS.

I'm still rather new at this so it's also likely I got something wrong 
or have a bad configuration option. If there is any more information I 
can provide please let me know. Thank you.
