Subject: braille-console: Fix value returned by _braille_console_setup
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ed2b8621be2708c0f6d61fe9841e9ad8b9753f0;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

braille-console: Fix value returned by _braille_console_setup

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.
