[PATCH] ttyprintk: make the printk log level configurable

From: Peter Korsgaard
Date: Tue Aug 21 2018 - 13:28:47 EST


For some use cases it is handy to use a different printk log level than the
default (info) for the messages written to ttyprintk, so add a Kconfig
option similar to what we have for default console loglevel.
