console: Drop added "static" for newport_con Commit 4fe505119778 ("console: Expand dummy functions for CFI") accidentally added "static" to newport_con instance of struct consw, while trying to normalize the declarations. This, however, needed to stay non-static as it has an extern.

Why would I care about an android-specific branch for the kernel.org releases? :)

Ok, but:
It really fixes commit c396a5bf457f ("console: Expand dummy functions for CFI") which only showed up in 4.17-rc1.
As this commit is not in the 4.14.y tree, why should it be applied there?
Still confused,
My bad. I made wrong assumption that build failure happened after stable update. Sorry about the noise. I will submit fix to proper branch. Thanks,
