Subject: vt: fix Scroll Lock LED trigger name
From: Maciej S. Szmigiero <[email protected]>
commit 31b5929d533f5183972cf57a7844b456ed996f3c upstream.
There is a disagreement between drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c and drivers/input/input-leds.c with regard to what is a Scroll Lock LED trigger name: input calls it "kbd-scrolllock", but vt calls it "kbd-scrollock" (two l's).
This prevents Scroll Lock LED trigger from binding to this LED by default.
Since it is a scroLL Lock LED, this interface was introduced only about a year ago and in an Internet search people seem to reference this trigger only to set it to this LED let's simply rename it to "kbd-scrolllock".
Also, it looks like this was supposed to be changed before this code was
merged: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/9/697 but it was done only on the input side.
