Dear maintainers, I came accross this issue when I was trying to add support for a new MIPS board. The getc() function from console_simple.c returns -EINVAL when no console is registered. It causes readline_simple to print a non-printable character (-EINVAL in this case). Furthermore, it causes an infinite loop: readline never returns. barebox:/ ���(...)��� With this patch, the error is no more explicit but the readline function stops to print a dummy character and returns to shell. barebox:/ <INTERRUPT> barebox:/ <INTERRUPT> barebox:/ <INTERRUPT> (...) barebox:/ <INTERRUPT> barebox:/ <INTERRUPT> barebox:/ <INTERRUPT> The second patch is a simple cleanup of the in-file documentation.
