Just a nitpicking.

I was just about to apply this patch,
then noticed this.

This works for localyesconfig as well as
localmodconfig.

Do you want to add the note to localyesconfig too?


LMC_ is an acronym of LOCAL_MOD_CONFIG_.
Maybe it is OK because
we mostly use localmodconfig,
using localyesconfig is somewhat rare, I guess.


Just a reminder, if you want to send v6
or if you want me to pick this up as-is.

Thanks.
