The Braille console is not registered in console_list. Instead, it is
integrated with the virtual terminal (VT) and shows what is displayed
on the terminal. It writes the data using con->write*() callback
of the associated serial console driver.
braille_write() is called from the VT code under console_lock().
The associated serial console driver can be converted to the NBCON API
though. The situation is similar to flushing nbcon consoles in the legacy
loop when some boot consoles are still registered, see
nbcon_legacy_emit_next_record().
But there is a big difference though. braille_write() is not directly
called from the code paths flushing registered consoles. The VT code
expects that braille_write() succeeds. It does not replay the message
when it can't acquire the ownership. As a result, braille_write():
+ must try harder to get the ownership.
+ has to be synchronized only against non-printk serial console
which depend nbcon_device_try_acquire() using NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL.
Let's look at it from another side and try to simulate the original
locking using the NBCON API:
1. Take con->device_lock(), aka the port->lock in the legacy serial
console driver.
2. Acquire nbcon context to provide some synchronization for a panic()
context. Use NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL because it contends only with
nbcon_device_try_acquire() users. Do it in a busy loop. It should
always succeed when con->device_lock() succeeded because all other
users do the same. The only exception is when the context get acquired
by a CPU handling panic.
3. In panic, disable interrupts and try to acquire the nbcon context.
Use NBCON_PRIO_PANIC. And try even an unsafe takeover because
otherwise the Braille console won't see the text shown during panic().
It is similar to the oops_in_progress/trylock handling in the legacy
serial console driver.
Finally, avoid the newline prepending logic in the existing serial console
drivers when they are used as a Braille console. As explained above,
the Braille console shows the last modified line on the terminal (VT).
braille_write() is called when single characters are added. Most
messages are not ended by newline. Anyway, the VT code does not have
logic to reply partially printed messages.

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

- int use_unicode -> bool: it's used as bool at some places already, so
make it explicit.
- int glyph -> u16: every caller passes a u16 in. So make it explicit
too. And remove a negative check from inverse_translate() as it never
could be negative.

There are two copies of some members of struct vc_data. This is because
we need to save them and restore later. Move these memebers to a
separate structure called vc_state. So now instead of members like:
vc_x, vc_y and vc_saved_x, vc_saved_y
we have
state and saved_state (of type: struct vc_state)
containing
state.x, state.y and saved_state.x, saved_state.y
This change:
* makes clear what is saved & restored
* eases save & restore by using memcpy (see save_cur and restore_cur)
Finally, we document the newly added struct vc_state using kernel-doc.

We don't call braille_register_console() without CON_BRL flag set.
And the _braille_unregister_console() already tests for console to have
CON_BRL flag. No need to repeat this in braille_unregister_console().
Drop the repetitive checks from Braille console driver.

Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely
ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on
- Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users
- Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer
- Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress
- Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking
around properly
- Tweak the braille console so it still builds
There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous
they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is
private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place.
This update fixes speakup and also a memory leak in the original.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.
It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
