If so then cool, otherwise an upgrade to kconfig would be needed, and if that is going to be done, I have a better solution to bump kconfig soon. I'll be making kconfig code stand alone tree soon which projects which want to embrace it can use it as a git subtree (note this is different and better than a git sub module). Then updates can just be done with something like: make refresh-kconfig And that would just get the latest kconfig and trigger a merge commit locally.
