[PATCH v2 2/3] checkpatch: testing more config for Kconfig help text

From: Yingjoe Chen
Date: Fri Apr 22 2016 - 10:32:45 EST


Current help text check only check a config option if it is followed
by another config.
Adding check for help text if the next entry is menuconfig, choice/
endchoice, comment, menu/endmenu, if/endif, source or end of file.
