From: Eugeniu Rosca <erosca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Assuming commit 617aebe6a97e ("Merge tag 'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64
and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with
the highest amount of OR sub-expressions that make up the final
"{Selected,Implied} by" reverse dependency expression.
| Config | Revdep all | Revdep ![=n] |
|-------------------------------|------------|--------------|
| REGMAP_I2C | 212 | 9 |
| CRC32 | 167 | 25 |
| FW_LOADER | 128 | 5 |
| MFD_CORE | 124 | 9 |
| FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT | 114 | 2 |
| FB_CFB_COPYAREA | 111 | 2 |
| FB_CFB_FILLRECT | 110 | 2 |
| SND_PCM | 103 | 2 |
| CRYPTO_HASH | 87 | 19 |
| WATCHDOG_CORE | 86 | 6 |
The story behind the above table is that the user needs to visually
review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C
in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C,
for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.
To make this experience smoother, transform the way reverse dependencies
are displayed to the user from [1] to [2].

- [ ] MTD_SWAP [=n] && MTD [=y] && SWAP [=y]
This patch has been tested using a custom variant of zconfdump which
prints the reverse dependencies for each config symbol.
