Subject: Re: [PATCH] kconfig: fix missing choice values in auto.conf
Hi,
thanks a lot for this patch! I tested this and it fixes what is says in
the commit message:
Tested-by: Joonas Kylmälä <joonas.kylmala@....fi>
Masahiro Yamada:
> Since commit 00c864f8903d ("kconfig: allow all config targets to write
> auto.conf if missing"), Kconfig creates include/config/auto.conf in the
> defconfig stage when it is missing.
>
> Joonas Kylmälä reported incorrect auto.conf generation under some
> circumstances.
