Subject: [PATCH 26/48] printk: Track nbcon consoles
From: John Ogness <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2023 09:36:52 +0000

Add a global flag @have_nbcon_console to identify if any nbcon
consoles are registered. This will be used in follow-up commits
to preserve legacy behavior when no nbcon consoles are registered.
