Subject: Input: sysrq - ensure sysrq_enabled and __sysrq_enabled are consistent
From: Andy Whitcroft <[email protected]>
commit 8c6a98b22b750c9eb52653ba643faa17db8d3881 upstream.
Currently sysrq_enabled and __sysrq_enabled are initialised separately
and inconsistently, leading to sysrq being actually enabled by reported
as not enabled in sysfs. The first change to the sysfs configurable
synchronises these two:
static int __read_mostly sysrq_enabled = 1;
static int __sysrq_enabled;
Add a common define to carry the default for these preventing them becoming
out of sync again. Default this to 1 to mirror previous behaviour.
