2016-08-19ref-manual: Update SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK descriptionCalifornia Sullivan
The previous description was not accurate. Looking at the code, SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK does not act like SERIAL_CONSOLES, as it will not add consoles to enable but only check and disable consoles defined by SERIAL_CONSOLES. Also, the previous patch adds aliasing functionality that needed to be documented. I (Scott Rifenbark) did a bit of word-smithing here from the original patch.
