[PATCH] video: restore CONFIG_VIDCONSOLE_AS_LCD as boolean

[PATCH] video: restore CONFIG_VIDCONSOLE_AS_LCD as boolean

[Patrick Delaunay]

This patch restores CONFIG_VIDCONSOLE_AS_LCD as boolean
and introduce a separate sting as CONFIG_VIDCONSOLE_AS_NAME
to search this string in stdout used as videoconsole.

This patch avoid issue with board defconfig or code expecting
CONFIG_VIDCONSOLE_AS_LCD as boolean.

Fixes: 22b897a12323 ("video: extend stdout video console work-around for 'vga'")

Hi,

It is fix for stm32mp157c-ev1 boot on next branch.

The option names are not perfect but it is only a temporarily
work around (up to end of 2020).

You can see other example of boolean and string in Kconfig =
  config USE_BOOTCOMMAND
  config BOOTCOMMAND

I think the correct name could be:
- CONFIG_USE_VIDCONSOLE_AS_NAME
- CONFIG_VIDCONSOLE_AS_NAME

but these name need to modify many file for a fix on a workaround
CONFIG.

Regards,

Patrick
