There are only two callers that use the returned code from
unregister_console():
- unregister_early_console() in arch/m68k/kernel/early_printk.c
- kgdb_unregister_nmi_console() in drivers/tty/serial/kgdb_nmi.c
They both expect to get "0" on success and a non-zero value on error.
But the current behavior is confusing and buggy:
- _braille_unregister_console() returns "1" on success
- unregister_console() returns "1" on error
Fix and clean up the behavior:
- Return success when _braille_unregister_console() succeeded
- Return a meaningful error code when the console was
not registered before

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
