    printk: Fix return of braille_register_console() · 2cfe6c4a
    Steven Rostedt authored
    Some of my configs I test with have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set.
    When I started testing against v3.11-rc4 my console went bonkers.  Using
    ktest to bisect the issue, it came down to:
    
    commit bbeddf52
    
     "printk: move braille console support into separate
    braille.[ch] files"
    
    Looking into the patch I found the problem.  It's with the return of
    braille_register_console().  As anything other than NULL is considered a
    failure.
    
    But for those of us that have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set but do not
    define a "brl" or "brl=" on the command line, we still may want a
    console that those with sight can still use.
    
    Return NULL (success) if "brl" or "brl=" is not on the console line.
