From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content of string configuration may depend on related kernel configurations. Modify oldconfig and syncconfig to inform users about possible required configuration update and give them the opportunity to update it: * if dependencies of this string has changed (e.g. enabled or disabled), * and if the current value of this string is different than the (new) default one. This is particularly relevant for CONFIG_LSM which contains a list of LSMs enabled at boot, but users will not have a chance to update this list with a make oldconfig.
