I'm not kconfig expert and I verify it again, but I run into it when testing this with defconfig: $ make defconfig && scripts/config --enable CONFIG_KVM_GUEST --disable CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS --enable CONFIG_MODULE_SIG It somehow inherits CRYPTO_DEV_VMX=y. But I'll verify it again. > What this patch really does is to merge CRYPTO_DEV_VMX into > CRYPTO_DEV_VMX_ENCRYPT AFAICS. +1 This is a proper description. > These two seem indeed redundant to me, but for consistency with the > other crypto drivers (e.g. bcm, ccree, ...), I'd rather keep > CRYPTO_DEV_VMX and merge CRYPTO_DEV_VMX_ENCRYPT into it. I'm not sure myself, because some other modules also have Kconfig. $ ls -1 drivers/crypto/*/Kconfig drivers/crypto/allwinner/Kconfig drivers/crypto/amlogic/Kconfig drivers/crypto/caam/Kconfig drivers/crypto/ccp/Kconfig drivers/crypto/hisilicon/Kconfig drivers/crypto/chelsio/Kconfig drivers/crypto/keembay/Kconfig drivers/crypto/marvell/Kconfig drivers/crypto/nx/Kconfig drivers/crypto/qat/Kconfig drivers/crypto/stm32/Kconfig drivers/crypto/ux500/Kconfig drivers/crypto/virtio/Kconfig drivers/crypto/vmx/Kconfig Sure, some of them have many config options in Kconfig, but at least drivers/crypto/chelsio/Kconfig and drivers/crypto/virtio/Kconfig configure just the module. Given it's just these two, I should probably merge CRYPTO_DEV_VMX_ENCRYPT into CRYPTO_DEV_VMX as you suggest (also defconfig changes would not be needed). @Herbert, Nayna, Paulo, Breno: any preference of these. > > Update powerpc defconfigs and description in MAINTAINERS. > The change to MAINTAINERS is completely unrelated?
