However, it was decided that binding must be controlled, not by the drivers themselves, but by the VT console layer. With this, dynamic binding is possible for all VT console drivers, not just fbcon. Thus, the VT console layer will impose the following to all VT console drivers: - all registered VT console drivers will be entered in a private list - drivers can register themselves to the VT console layer, but they cannot decide when to bind or unbind. (Exception: To maintain backwards compatibility, take_over_console() will automatically bind the driver after registration.) - drivers can remove themselves from the list by unregistering from the VT console layer.
