[PATCH v2 1/2] tty: Convert tty_buffer flags to bool

From: Ilpo Järvinen
Date: Wed Oct 19 2022 - 07:48:44 EST


The struct tty_buffer has flags which is only used for storing TTYB_NORMAL.
There is also a few quite confusing operations for checking the presense
of TTYB_NORMAL. Simplify things by converting flags to bool.

Despite the name remaining the same, the meaning of "flags" is altered
slightly by this change. Previously it referred to flags of the buffer
(only TTYB_NORMAL being used as a flag). After this change, flags tell
whether the buffer contains/should be allocated with flags array along
with character data array. It is much more suitable name that
TTYB_NORMAL was for this purpose, thus the name remains.

v2:
- Make it more obvious why flags is not renamed (both in kerneldoc
comment and commit message).
