Unneeded information.
You do not need to advertise your previous wrong patch.

The patch submission history should be
described below the '---' marker.

Unneeded.
It is quite normal for a patch submitter
to test their patch before submission.

"We believe" is unneeded.

This message is wrong.

Kconfig changed the value so it meets the reverse dependency.

It should warn that the value has been changed.

Same here.

Kconfig changed the value so it meets the direct dependency.

Why did you check sym->prop here?

This is clumsy.

conf_warn_dep_error() and conf_warn_unmet_rev()
do not happen at the same time.


if (sym->def[S_DEF_USER].tri != sym_get_tristate_value(sym)) {
if (sym->rev_dep.tri > sym->def[S_DEF_USER].tri)
conf_warn_unmet_rev(sym);
else if (sym->dir_dep.tri < sym->def[S_DEF_USER].tri)
conf_warn_dep_error(sym);
}


is much simpler.
