menuconfig could include a feature which lists a dependency tree on the
current option, that is, f.ex., hitting 'D' on CONFIG_INET_AH (IP: AH
transformation) could
give this screen:
--- Depends ---
[ ] Networking support
[ ] TCP/IP networking
--- Selects ---
[*] CONFIG_XFRM
[*] Cryptogrpahic API
--- HMAC support
<M> MD5 digest algorithm
<M> SHA1 digest algorithm
--- Selected by ---
And, now let's take a 'D' on CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC:
--- Depends ---
[*] Cryptographic API
--- Selects ---
--- Selected by ---
[*] Experimental
[*] Networking support
[*] TCP/IP Networking
[*] INET: AH transform
[*] INET: ESP transform
[*] INET6: AH transform
[*] INET6: ESP transform
[*] SCTP
So you can:
- enable any Depends to make CONFIG_INET_AH available
- see what it selects and cycle between <*> and <M> (if possible)
for Selected options
- deselect all the Selected Bys to be able to unselect CRYPTO_HMAC
itself[3]
[3] would be a tough thing because you can select with && and ||, in which
case it should simply list all the options specified in the Kconfig without
regard to && and || combinatinos.
