From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2ed2b8621be2708c0f6d61fe9841e9ad8b9753f0 ] commit bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files") introduced _braille_console_setup() to outline the braille initialization code. There was however some confusion over the value it was supposed to return. commit 2cfe6c4ac7ee ("printk: Fix return of braille_register_console()") tried to fix it but failed to. This fixes and documents the returned value according to the use in printk.c: non-zero return means a parsing error, and thus this console configuration should be ignored.
