Docs: printk: add 'console=null|""' to admin/kernel-parameters
Tell about 'console=null|""' and how to use it.
It can be helpful to set (enable) CONFIG_NULL_TTY so that the ttynull
driver is available. This avoids problems with stdin/stdout/stderr of
the init process. Howevere, CONFIG_NULL_TTY cannot be enabled by default
because it can be used by mistake, see the commit a91bd6223e
("Revert
"init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console"").

hvc<n> Use the hypervisor console device <n>. This is for

both Xen and PowerPC hypervisors.

{ null | "" }
|

Use to disable console output, i.e., to have kernel
|
||||
console messages discarded.
|
||||
This must be the only console= parameter used on the
|
||||
kernel command line.
|

|
||||
If the device connected to the port is not a TTY but a braille
|
||||
device, prepend "brl," before the device type, for instance
|

console=brl,ttyS0
