From 678ae162dd2fdda97879680426029dffc3e96041 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulf Magnusson Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2018 21:22:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: kconfig: check help texts for menuconfig and choice Currently, only Kconfig symbols are checked for a missing or short help text, and are only checked if they are defined with the 'config' keyword. To make the check more general, extend it to also check help texts for choices and for symbols defined with the 'menuconfig' keyword. This increases the accuracy of the check for symbols that would already have been checked as well, since e.g. a 'menuconfig' symbol after a help text will be recognized as ending the preceding symbol/choice definition. To increase the accuracy of the check further, also recognize 'if', 'endif', 'menu', 'endmenu', 'endchoice', and 'source' as ending a symbol/choice definition.
