[patch 4/3] tty: make tty_kopen return ENODEV in case of no TTY

From: Okash Khawaja
Date: Sun Jul 09 2017 - 08:32:45 EST


When TTY is not built, tty_kopen should return an error. This way
calling code remains consistent, regardless of whether tty is built or
not. This patch returns -ENODEV when there is no tty.
