This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Disable kgdboc failed by echo space to
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Disable kgdboc failed by echo space to
/sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Echo "" to /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc will fail with "No such
device” error.
This is caused by function "configure_kgdboc" who init err to ENODEV
when the config is empty (legal input) the code go out with ENODEV
returned.
Fixes: 2dd453168643 ("kgdboc: Fix restrict error")
