Kconfig simplifies expressions, but redundant '&&' and '||' operators involving constant symbols 'y' and 'n' are sometimes trimmed and sometimes not. [Test Code] config DEP def_bool y config A bool "A" depends on DEP && y config B bool "B" depends on DEP && y && y [Result] $ make helpnewconfig [ snip ] ----- There is no help available for this option. Symbol: A [=n] Type : bool Defined at Kconfig:4 Prompt: A Depends on: DEP [=y] && y [=y] Location: -> A (A [=n]) ----- ----- There is no help available for this option. Symbol: B [=n] Type : bool Defined at Kconfig:8 Prompt: B Depends on: DEP [=y] Location: -> B (B [=n]) ----- The dependency for A, 'DEP && y', remains as-is, while that for B, 'DEP && y && y', has been reduced to 'DEP'. Currently, expr_eliminate_dups() calls expr_eliminate_yn() only when trans_count != 0, in other words, only when expr_eliminate_dups1() has trimmed at least one leaf. It fails to trim a single '&& y', etc. To fix this inconsistent behavior, expr_eliminate_yn() should be called at least once even if no leaf has been trimmed.
