Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] kconfig: error on reverse range
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 14:40:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014134017.2310819-1-julianbraha@gmail.com> (raw)
This series adds more input validation to Kconfig, specifically checking
that ranges for numeric options are properly ordered. This check was
originally introduced as part of kconfirm [1], but there are no findings
for this across the tree, so the check can be added directly into Kconfig.
Patch 1/2 adds a prop_err() function to match the existing prop_warn(),
which is then used in patch 2/2 where the check is introduced.
