[PATCH] kconfig: Add a build target for checking current config for issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The new target is called 'checkconfig' and currently is basically an
alias for `listnewconfig` with KCONFIG_WARN_UNKNOWN_SYMBOLS set to true.
It can be used to validate if the current config is directly compatible
with the current kernel version or needs some manual adjustment.
