From 79527d86ba91c2d9354832d19fd12b3baa66bd10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 15:26:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] serial: imx: change SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE to bool 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.
