sysvinit modify for usb_serial_console

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 504 bytes --]

Hi,

There are many evaluationboard that use mini-usb port like as a serial 
port + power supply.
Using it as serial console have to force getty with no need for carrier 
detect.
For these boards have to use USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE variabile in config file 
instead of SERIAL_CONSOLE and getty runs with -L parameter.
By this way is simple to use usb serial port unless know in depth getty 
manpage.

Can you merge this patch in mainline?

Matteo,
Looks ok to me, thanks.

BTW IIRC your patches should have prefix [PATCH]
http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded

git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH" -1
