Subject: -next: Kconfig asks about XFS formats when I don't have XFS enabled

Hi!

I don't have XFS enabled, yet I'm asked if I want to support its old
format:

+config XFS_SUPPORT_V4
+       bool "Support deprecated V4 (crc=0) format"
+       default y

This needs to have dependence on XFS_FS.

+         This option will become default N in September 2025. Support for the
+         V4 format will be removed entirely in September 2030. Distributors
+         can say N here to withdraw support earlier.

This seems... "interesting", contrary to "no regressions" rule.

Best regards,
									Pavel
