Jérémy, All,

On 2020-05-22 18:59 +0200, Jérémy Rosen spake thusly:
> When selecting "console" for the automatic getty, the buildroot logic
> would collide with systemd's internal console detection logic, resulting
> in two getty being started on the console.
> 
> This commit fixes that by doing nothing when "console" is selected and
> letting systemd-getty-generator deal with starting the proper getty.
> 
> Note that if something other than the console is selected
> * Things will work properly, even if the selected terminal is also the
>   console
> * A getty will still be started on the console.
>   This is what systemd has been doing on buildroot since the beginning. it
>   could be disabled but I left it for backward compatibility
> 
> Fixes: #12361
> Signed-off-by: Jérémy Rosen <jeremy.rosen at smile.fr>

Applied to master, thanks.

/lib/systemd/system/getty at .service does not actually contain 115200, and
there are no toher speed specified either.

However, I kept it.

Applied to master, thanks.
