Have you seen Steven's suggestion which he send about the same time as your mail I'm replying to here ? I personally think that doing something like that makes sense (for as long as we have the need for the lockless_fb_register debug hack).
Note I've 2 patches ready to go to only fix this in fbcon.c, but I think a more thorough fix makes sense.
Yeah Steven's suggestion looks reasonable to fix this all for good. The #if 1 predates git history, so no idea why it was added or by whom :-)
I just sent the patch. If the printk maintainers take it, then you can update the fb driver to set the ignore_console_lock_warning when lockless_fb_register is set.
