[PATCH 5/5] tty: srmcons: remove 'str_cr' and use string directly

From: Jiri Slaby (SUSE)
Date: Mon Nov 27 2023 - 07:37:40 EST


'str_cr' contains a single character: \r. There is no need to declare it
as array. Instead, pass the character (as a string) to callback_puts()
directly. This ensures the string is in proper .rodata (const) section
and makes the code more obvious.

Notes:
[v2]
pass "\r" directly to callback_puts() as Richard suggests
spell correct \r in the commit log as Ilpo noticed
