[PATCH] VT binding: Make VT binding a Kconfig option
To enable this feature, CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING must be set to 'y'. This feature will default to 'n' to minimize users accidentally corrupting their virtual terminals.

+ The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
+ terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
+ console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
+ drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
+ 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
+ select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
+ virtual terminals.
