Subject: virtio: console: Don't always create a port 0 if using multiport
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d05160be743c506b1d6926e7c637496fa750cd3;p=linux-beck.git

virtio: console: Don't always create a port 0 if using multiport

If we're using multiport, there's no point in always creating a console
port. Create the console port only if the host doesn't support
multiport.
