Hmm... this is interesting. I can't produce this on any of my machines.
Where did you see this? What hardware?

Notice how we figure out the initial value of efi_y...

static __init int early_efi_setup(struct console *con, char *options)
{
        struct screen_info *si;
        u16 xres, yres;
        u32 i;

        si = &boot_params.screen_info;
        xres = si->lfb_width;
        yres = si->lfb_height;

        ....

        efi_y = rounddown(yres, font->height) - font->height;

Every time we enter early_efi_write(), we should have enough space to
write one line, so I'm not at all sure what's going wrong with your
display.
