That mailing list is no longer used. Today's git pull for kbuild
included this change:

KCONFIG

M: zippel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-L: kbuild-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+L: linux-kbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S: Maintained

I hadn't pulled that one yet... ;)


I noticed a regression, visible in the drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig;
it seems to be quite recent.

...
Hm, it does look very odd. It looks like it has something to
do with <choice> working differently for some reason.

In xconfig, I set all of the View Options and when I click on one
of the periph. controllers, it says

depends on =y && PCI

That's what I saw too. Looked dubious ...


but if I back up to -git7, it says

depends on <choice> && PCI

And that git7 thing doesn't look _quite_ so odd. Did git7 actually
let you configure a modular GOKU (for example), i.e. work correctly?

Yes, -git9 does.

Looks to me like it broke on -git10. -git9 is OK.

I'll keep looking.

Thanks. Kconfig is one of the areas I prefer to let others
be the experts. :)
