parisc : Remove broken line wrapping handling pdc_iodc_print()
Remove the broken line wrapping handling in pdc_iodc_print(). It is broken in 3 ways : - It doesn't keep track of the current screen position, it just assumes that the new buffer will be printed at the begining of the screen. - It doesn't take in account that non printable characters won't increase the current position on the screen. - And last but not least, it triggers a kernel panic if a backspace is the first char in the provided buffer : Backtrace: [<0000000040128ec4>] pdc_console_write+0x44/0x78 [<0000000040128f18>] pdc_console_tty_write+0x20/0x38 [<000000004032f1ac>] n_tty_write+0x2a4/0x550 [<000000004032b158>] tty_write+0x1e0/0x2d8 [<00000000401bb420>] vfs_write+0xb8/0x188 [<00000000401bb630>] sys_write+0x68/0xb8 [<0000000040104eb8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14 Most terminals handle the line wrapping just fine. I've confirmed that it works correctly on a C8000 with both vga and serial output.
