Subject: make oldconfig forces HWMON to be inbuilt

Hi guys :

I am seeing this weird issue where even though my original kernel
configuration tries to build HWMON as a module, when I do 'make
oldconfig', it forces HWMON to be built into the kernel. Is there
anyway I can find what configuration is forcing this change?
CONFIG_HWMEM is a tristate symbol.

thanks
ani
