    drivers/video/concole: add negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE on ARC · 031e29b5

    Architectures which support VGA console must define screen_info
    structurture from "uapi/linux/screen_info.h".  Otherwise undefined
    symbol error occurs.  Usually it's defined in "setup.c" for each
    architecture.
    
    If an architecture does not support VGA console (ARC's case) there are 2
    ways: define a dummy instance of screen_info or add a negative
    dependency for VGA_CONSOLE in to prevent selecting this option.
    
    I've implemented the second way.  However the best solution is to add
    HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE option for targets which support VGA console.  Then
    turn off VGA_CONSOLE by default and add dependency to HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE.
    But right now it's better to just add a negative dependency for ARC and
    then consider how to collaborate about this issue with maintainers of
    other architectures.
