[PATCH] ARC: add negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE

From: Yuriy Kolerov
Date: Mon Aug 17 2015 - 11:53:32 EST


Architectures which support VGA console must define screen_info
structurture from "uapi/linux/screen_info.h". Otherwise undefined
symbol error occurs. Usually it's defined in "setup.c" for each
architecture.

If an architecture does not support VGA console (ARC's case)
there are 2 ways: define a dummy instance of screen_info or add
a negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE in to prevent selecting
this option.

I've implemented the second way. However the best solution is to
add HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE option for targets which support VGA
console. Then turn off VGA_CONSOLE by default and add dependency
to HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE. But right now it's better to just add a
negative dependency for ARC and then consider how to collaborate
about this issue with maintainers of other architectures.
