Subject: powerpc/hvc_udbg: Don't crash when udbg_putc is NULL
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d3d897a4697e4ff746e5e82f116b2346ed28150;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Also while at it, add some help text indicating why you shouldn't
enable that driver under normal circumstances
