it's been a while so i was thinking of firing up my scripts to
peruse the source tree looking for oddities/inconsistencies/whatever
(unless someone else is already doing that).

one example is looking for preprocessor tests of symbols that aren't
defined in any Kconfig file, and i can focus on any part of the source
tree. for example, if i run that script against drivers/mmc, i get:
[...]

CAVIUM_OCTEON_NUM_PACKET_BUFFERS
drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet-defines.h:36: * CONFIG_CAVIUM_OCTEON_NUM_PACKET_BUFFERS
drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet.c:56:#if defined(CONFIG_CAVIUM_OCTEON_NUM_PACKET_BUFFERS) \
drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet.c:57: && CONFIG_CAVIUM_OCTEON_NUM_PACKET_BUFFERS
drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet.c:58:int num_packet_buffers = CONFIG_CAVIUM_OCTEON_NUM_PACKET_BUFFERS;

I am aware of these and am working on fixing them.

Thanks,
