Subject: [PATCH 2/2] serial: earlycon: Use isdigit() in earlycon_init()
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:30:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014143034.104950-4-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014143034.104950-3-blum@kernel.org>
Use isdigit() and a while loop to simplify the backward scan.
