[PATCH v2] Documentation: kunit: Update Kconfig parts for KUNIT's module support

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Tue Oct 13 2020 - 02:38:17 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

If 'CONFIG_KUNIT=m', letting kunit tests that do not support loadable
module build depends on 'KUNIT' instead of 'KUNIT=y' result in compile
errors. This commit updates the document for this.

Fixes: 9fe124bf1b77 ("kunit: allow kunit to be loaded as a module")
