Subject: drivers/tty: ehv_bytechan fails to build as a module
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>
commit a183d3ae63c08186477d2b0ef2798d47d10add4b upstream.
ehv_bytechan is marked tristate but fails to build as a module:
drivers/tty/ehv_bytechan.c:363:1: error: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘console_initcall’ [-Werror=implicit-int]
It doesn't make much sense for a console driver to be built as
a module, so change it to a bool.
