[PATCH] kconfig: warn nested choice

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon Dec 16 2019 - 23:03:12 EST


If you create a 'choice' inside another 'choice', I do not know how
it should work.

I applied this patch onto v5.5-rc1, and I see one warning:

drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig:458: warning: nested choice. previous choice entry is drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig:486

This is because entire drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is in the
choice context.
