This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

Disable kgdboc failed by echo space to

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Echo "" to /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc will fail with "No such device” error.

This is caused by function "configure_kgdboc" who init err to ENODEV when the config is empty (legal input) the code go out with ENODEV returned.
