Add 'warning' word to $(warning-if) output: This will make the diagnostics consistent with other places in kconfig where warnings are issued (see conf_warrning() in confdata.c). > > 2. Print $(info) output to stderr instead of stdout. There are two reasons: 1. Error, warning, and info are different diagnostics levels. It was surprising to me that the first two go to stderr while info goes to stdout. For example, as a user, if I redirect stderr, I would naturally expect all the diagnostics to go there. 2. More importantly, stdout is used by terminal-based UI configurators. So depending on exactly when $(info) is issued, its output could either be clobbered by UI (so the user won't notice it) or it can clobber UI (so the user will see broken UI).
