If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit df5a891bf8141de60f052d7f5298ee396cc6ebfd Author: Anders Roxell <anders.roxell@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 5 11:22:34 2024 +0200 scripts: kconfig: merge_config: config files: add a trailing newline [ Upstream commit 33330bcf031818e60a816db0cfd3add9eecc3b28 ] When merging files without trailing newlines at the end of the file, two config fragments end up at the same row if file1.config doens't have a trailing newline at the end of the file. file1.config "CONFIG_1=y" file2.config "CONFIG_2=y" ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -m .config file1.config file2.config This will generate a .config looking like this. cat .config ... CONFIG_1=yCONFIG_2=y" Making sure so we add a newline at the end of every config file that is passed into the script.
