This patch series removes next obsolete MTD configs from all defconfig files: - CONFIG_MTD_CHAR - CONFIG_MTD_CONCAT - CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG - CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG_VERBOSE - CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS All those configs were removed from drivers/mtd/Kconfig earlier, but their usage in defconfig files was remain unnoticed. There are at least two obvious reasons to get rid of those configs: 1. Their usage may cause to build warnings
That's news for me. I thought they are silently ignored. Do you have an example of such a warning?
2. Their usage may confuse someone who is grepping defconfig files to get the clue what MTD configuration may look like. This series is harmless for all those defconfigs and will not break anything.

Seems like the kind of change that can only be reviewed by a script. Is there any policy on keeping defconfig files up to date? Because, only slightly exaggerated, all the defconfig files are outdated, in minor or major ways, at any given moment. I seem to remember Greg stating that defconfig files are on their way out. Did I remember that correctly?
