Because of this is correct behavior. Upper layer passes data to
putcs() so that end of line is not crossed and all characters have
same color.

If some console code passes buffer with different attributes or buffer
which crosses end of line, then that console code is buggy.

P.S.: James, if this is not in fbdev API doc, it definitely should.
