Hi Carmelo,

While trying to regress test future branch on top of master

I have been getting a regression on master on all architectures
(arm/ppc/mips/x86/x86_64) where my clutter based image does not
render the font properly after boot up ( it draws them with squares for
each character)

It has been working alright with 0.9.32 branch and I decided to
bisect master and after days I pinned the problematic commit to be the
one below.

If I build the root file system without this patch everything works
as expected. Could you explain why this commit is needed ?
