From: Tommy-Zhang3759 <[email protected]> When resetting the font to default, the `data` field in the `console_font_op` structure must be explicitly set to NULL. Previously, this field was left uninitialized. The kernel treats a non-NULL `data` pointer as a pointer to a font name string. This caused the ioctl to fail with -EFAULT (Bad address) because it attempted to read from a garbage address.
