This patch did not change scripts/kconfig/qconf-cfg.sh at all.
Hence, Qt5 is always linked.


Please change scripts/kconfig/qconf-cfg.sh so that:

  1. If Qt6 is installed, please link Qt6.
  2. If Qt6 is not installed but Qt5 is installed,
     please link Qt5

A request to reviewers/testers:

  Please make sure you tested this
  with both Qt5 and Qt6.


To check the Qt version you are running:
  1.   'make xconfig'
 2. See  Help -> About
