Dear Thomas, The script ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py warns on invalid references to Kconfig symbols (often, minor typos, name confusions or outdated references). This is a patch series addressing the issues reported by ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py in the ./arch/mips/ directory, quickly filtered down with: ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py | grep "arch/mips" -B 1 without considering kernel configs, i.e., after removing ./arch/mips/configs in the working tree. It addresses all issues I considered to be "true positives"; so, issues that should be addressed and cleaned up. The patches on updating the comments might arguably be considered of lower value by itself, but as the other patches show, checkkconfigsymbols does detect some relevant issues in the kernel tree otherwise being unnoticed. So, it might be worth to clean up the kernel tree to have checkkconfigsymbols produce a rather short list of issues and then continuously follow and check what checkkconfigsymbols reports. These are the remaining reports from checkkconfigsymbols in ./arch/mips, which are not addressed in this series: SGI_IP35 Referencing files: arch/mips/include/asm/sn/addrs.h, arch/mips/include/asm/sn/agent.h, arch/mips/include/asm/sn/klconfig.h Rationale: Ralf Baechle rejected a patch to remove the "upstream-dead" SGI_IP35 code in 2014, because there was still some out-of-tree users. We might want to recheck if these out-of-tree users still exist or if this code can be dropped now. See email discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1400584909.4912.35.camel@x220/T/#mf1d73d4f531bab670beb30aa0adfce34cbcad528 SHELL Referencing files: arch/mips/Makefile, arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/Makefile Rationale: Ignore CONFIG_SHELL. Default variable in Kbuild build system. Each patch in this series can be discussed and applied individually. They are sent in one patch series, as they all orginate from the investigation guided by the same tool and hence share similar topics and resolutions. Please pick this series of minor clean-up patches on ./arch/mips/. It applies cleanly on next-20211210. The patches with Fixes: tags might be considerable for stable.
