Message-ID: <20240917141725.466514-3-masahiroy@kernel.org> Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2024 23:16:30 +0900 From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@...nel.org> To: linux-kbuild@...r.kernel.org Cc: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@...nel.org>, rust-for-linux@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>, Nicolas Schier <nicolas@...sle.eu>, Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH 02/23] kbuild: doc: remove description about grepping CONFIG options This description was added 20 years ago [1]. It does not convey any useful information except for a feeling of nostalgia.
