Well done Manuel.
I'm not sure my emails with review of previous submission reached you, but in
them I meant to mention that there are some style nits which are easy to
eliminate.
checkpatch --strict is happy on patch 1/2, but on 2/2 there are few points. If
you ever have a reason to submit v7, please make sure to pick these points,
too. Except for the last one, which seems reasonable case to violate the rule
in my personal opinion.
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict ~/console2.patch
CHECK: Please use a blank line after function/struct/union/enum declarations

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
/home/j/console2.patch has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
P. S. Manuel, please fix your git-send-email workflow or apply some
workaround (check locale settings and such). Again your References
header contains illegal symbol:
