I.e. nothing much, especially for this one where the new now-unconfigurable menu will only have a single config entry inside (in fact I assumed there would be more coming) That's why I let it stay inside a menu, and not straight removing the menu and moved the config option one level up... > You aren't changing any dependancies (which > is what dictates what is and is not built), which does not make it > easier, or harder, to disable/enable anything here. I think I don't understand what you're telling here, I added a dep to ANDROID for the ANDROID_BINDER_IPC config entry. > I'm not against this, but you need to explain it a lot better as to what > you are doing and why. The "why" isn't covered by the "this will make > the kernel build smaller", as that's just not true :) This is not intended to make the kernel build smaller, but to ease the tedious process of going through "make menuconfig" and disabling all the options you don't need. The quantity of options has greatly increased, and when I could do a minimal kernel config in a few minutes years ago, I now have to take tens of minutes going through all. This work is a step trying to make this step quicker. Is that better ?
