Subject: [PATCH -next] printk: fix broken 'console' kernel parameter

If CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE is not enabled, _braille_console_setup()
should return NULL to parse the parameter further in console_setup().

This patch fixes the broken 'console' kernel parameter, which makes the
Pandaboard not boot with 'console=ttyO2'.
