[PATCH v2] x86: Add a prompt for HPET_EMULATE_RTC
From: Anand K Mistry
Date: Thu Apr 29 2021 - 02:00:37 EST
This does two things:
1. Makes the option visible in menuconfig, allowing the user to easily
disable this option
2. Allows olddefconfig to respect the option if it is set in the old
.config file
It's not clear exactly why the second consequence is true, but it
appears to be because when the conf tool reads the config file, it only
respects the existing setting if the option is "visible" (see
scripts/kconfig/symbol.c:381).
