[PATCH] vt: remove superfluous CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE
From: Lukas Bulwahn
Date: Mon Jan 08 2024 - 08:41:19 EST
The config HW_CONSOLE is always identical to the config VT and is not
visible in the kernel's build menuconfig. So, CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE is
redundant.
Replace all references to CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE with CONFIG_VT and remove
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE.

I think this patch is best picked up by Greg rather than splitting it
in smaller pieces for m68k, amiga keyboard, fbdev etc.
Greg, if that is fine, could you pick this for the next merge window?
I was also considering to rename config VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING to
VT_CONSOLE_BINDING, as the dependency is on VT, not HW_CONSOLE, but
at the moment, that seemed more churn than value of clarification.
