Subject: [patch RFC 08/29] parisc: Put console abuse into one place
Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2022 00:27:44 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220910222300.846719466@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220910221947.171557773@linutronix.de>
PARISC has a hope based mechanism to restore consoles in case of a HPMC
(machine check exception) which is scattered over several places.
Move it into one place to make further changes simpler and add comments.
