Lines under a ``config`` definition are indented with one tab, while help text is indented an additional two spaces.Oof. That's embarrassing. Sorry, I'll fix this for v8. While I'm at it, is the help text required for choice configs? checkpatch --strict complains with a warning without them, but I see other places in the tree where help text is omitted for these configs attached to a choice.
Does checkpatch complain about what you have above or did you add that help text to keep it from complaining?
Documentation/process/* doesn't seem to have any guidance, nor Documentation/kbuild/* on whether it is safe to ignore that checkpatch warning.
Yeah, I don't think that we have any good guidance on that. I would say that if the choice prompt provides good/adequate help info, then each 'config' inside the choice block does not need help text. OTOH, if the choice prompt has little/no help info, then each 'config' under it should have some useful info. I only looked in arch/x86/Kconfig, init/Kconfig, and lib/Kconfig.debug, but you can see either help text method being used in those. And then if the help text is adequate in either one of those methods, I would just ignore the checkpatch complaints. It's just a guidance tool. HTH. -- ~Randy
