From 2ab0d56aadbcd120b8fa524b4a1142e8b06e13c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2016 17:07:56 +0200 Subject: virtio/s390: keep early_put_chars In case the registration of the hvc tty never happens AND the kernel thinks that hvc0 is the preferred console we should keep the early printk function to avoid a kernel panic due to code being removed.

As qemu switched its default to ccw with 2.4 (with most users having used ccw well before that) and removed the old transport entirely in 2.6, s390-virtio probably hasn't been in active use for quite some time and is therefore likely to bitrot. Let's start the slow march towards removing the code by deprecating it. Note that this also deprecates the early virtio console code, which has been causing trouble in the guest without being wired up in any relevant hypervisor code.
