Subject: [PATCH] KBUILD: Extend "menuconfig" for modules to simplify Kconfig file.
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 13:31:32 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.1.10.0808041328440.6174@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Given that the init/Kconfig file uses a "menuconfig" directive for
modules already, might as well wrap all the submenu entries in an "if"
to toss all those dependencies.
