2013-08-06printk: Fix return of braille_register_console()Steven Rostedt
Some of my configs I test with have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set. When I started testing against v3.11-rc4 my console went bonkers. Using ktest to bisect the issue, it came down to: commit bbeddf52a "printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files" Looking into the patch I found the problem. It's with the return of braille_register_console(). As anything other than NULL is considered a failure. But for those of us that have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set but do not define a "brl" or "brl=" on the command line, we still may want a console that those with sight can still use. Return NULL (success) if "brl" or "brl=" is not on the console line.

Create files with prototypes and static inlines for braille support. Make braille_console functions return 1 on success. Corrected CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE=n _braille_console_setup return value to NULL.
