I just saw this now as a result of this patch entering mainline.  I
would have liked to be CC'ed to the patches.  Also, I don't like the
move of the virtio_console.c file to drivers/tty/hvc.  virtio_console.c
is not only an hvc driver; one of its functions is to hook some ports to
hvc, but it's mostly a generic driver these days.

(I also note the MAINTAINERS entry was ignored and not updated in the
3rd patch of this series.)

Can you please move it back?

I could perhaps think of a way of splitting the file so the hvc bits can
be moved to drivers/tty/hvc/ and having the core stay in drivers/char/,
but that'll have to wait for the next cycle.
