Subject: [PATCH 1/4 v2] serial: imx: change SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE to bool
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 15:26:40 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260110232643.3533351-2-rdunlap@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260110232643.3533351-1-rdunlap@infradead.org>
SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE is a build option for the imx driver (SERIAL_IMX).
It does not build a separate console driver file, so it can't be built
as a module since it isn't built at all.
Change the Kconfig symbol from tristate to bool and update the help
text accordingly.
Fixes: 0db4f9b91c86 ("tty: serial: imx: enable imx serial console port as module")
