My previous comment:
"sym_add_change_count(1); seems the convention way
to inform kconfig of some options being updated."
was misleading. Sorry.


conf_write() skips symbol invalidation
when conf_get_change() returns non-zero value.

        if (!conf_get_changed())
                sym_clear_all_valid();

I do not know why this if-conditional exists here...

Anyway, this patch fixes the issue.

Applied. Thanks.
