BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836858 Impact: Flickerfree boot doesn't work with Eoan and Focal kernels - the flicker occurs seemingly during kernel startup following this pattern: 1. BIOS logo on a black background 2. Display mode resets, no image on a black background briefly 3. BIOS logo on a black background According to upstream, the required kernel option to achieve it (coupled with the quiet cmdline) is FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER. Fix: Apply the config change, recompile and reboot - a test kernel was provided and the reporter of this bug said "it doesn't completely solve the issue, but it's a step in the right direction, so please enable it". Regression potential: Low, config change for an option that is upstream. Proposing for Focal.
