[PATCH 1/3] checkpatch: kconfig: recognize more prompts when checking help texts

From: Ulf Magnusson
Date: Fri Feb 16 2018 - 15:23:40 EST


The check for a missing or short help text only considers symbols with a
prompt, but doesn't recognize any of the following as a prompt:

bool 'foo'
tristate 'foo'
prompt "foo"
prompt 'foo'

Make the check recognize those too.
