Yep. Thanks Samuel for the quick answer. In more details: if the console has already been configured info->intf is not NULL. On the other hand if the console hasn't been configured yet info->intf is NULL. If the console has just been allocated by the kzalloc then obviously it hasn't been configured and in fact info->intf is NULL.
