From: Eugeniu Rosca <erosca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable") made an incredible improvement in how reverse dependencies are perceived by the user, by breaking down the single (often interminable) expression string into small readable chunks, each of them displayed on a separate line: Selected by: - A && B - C && (D || E) Unfortunately, what happens with the non-OR (either E_SYMBOL or E_AND) expressions is that they don't get a dedicated line: Selected by: F && G That's arguably a bug/misbehavior, but it puts some amount of burden in implementing new ways of printing reverse dependencies to the user. As example, if we prefix every reverse dependency top level "||" token by its tristate value, then subjectively [2] looks more readable than [1]. [1] Selected by: [m] F && G [2] Selected by: - [m] F && G Also, if we print the reverse dependency sub-expressions in groups (clustered by the tristate value they evaluate to), then subjectively [4] looks more readable than [3]. [3] Selected by [m]: F && G [4] Selected by [m]: - F && G Based on the above, print all the reverse dependency sub-expressions on a separate line _consistently_. An example of change contributed by this commit is seen below. | Symbol: NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH [=y] | ... | Selected by: IOMMU_DMA [=y] && IOMMU_SUPPORT [=y] becomes: | Symbol: NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH [=y] | ... | Selected by: | - IOMMU_DMA [=y] && IOMMU_SUPPORT [=y] This patch has been tested using a tuned variant of zconfdump which prints the reverse dependencies for each config symbol.
