[PATCH] drivers/tty: don't use the byte channel handle as a parameter in ehv_bytechan.c

[Timur Tabi]

The ePAPR hypervisor byte channel console driver only supports one byte
channel as a console, and the byte channel handle is stored in a global
variable.  It doesn't make any sense to pass that handle as a parameter
to the console functions, since these functions already have access to the
global variable.

This change also fixes this compilation warning on a 64-bit kernel:

  CC      drivers/tty/ehv_bytechan.o
drivers/tty/ehv_bytechan.c: In function 'ehv_bc_console_write':
drivers/tty/ehv_bytechan.c:289:24: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
drivers/tty/ehv_bytechan.c: In function 'ehv_bc_console_init':
drivers/tty/ehv_bytechan.c:355:24: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

This warning is because the driver is converting the integer byte channel
handle to/from the void* 'data' field of struct console.  Rather than fix
the warning, we just eliminate the code altogether.
