[PATCH 2/2] s390/sclp: Implement resize for sclp-vt220 console

From: Maximilian Immanuel Brandtner

Date: Mon Sep 21 2026 - 08:16:43 EST


Add support for sclp vt220 resize events to enable host-initiated
terminal resizing when using the sclp-vt220 console.

This allows QEMU to dynamically resize the console. On older kernel
versions, these events are safely ignored as the kernel drops events
with undefined tty codes.
