Hello Alex, This patch does not apply on top of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agross/linux.git/log/?h=for-next When you don't specify a string for a Kconfig, then you won't be able to select it via menuconfig, only through other Kconfigs, e.g.: $ git grep QCOM_QMI_HELPERS drivers/remoteproc/Kconfig: select QCOM_QMI_HELPERS What Kconfig is it that needs QCOM_QMI_HELPERS? Why do you need to make is selectable via menuconfig? Isn't it sufficient to add a "select QCOM_QMI_HELPERS" to that Kconfig?

IPA, which is not yet merged. The entry in "drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig" for this option includes help text, so I presume it was an oversight not to include a string (prompt). It is the only non-trivial entry in that file that does not include one. Why should this entry not be listed in menus? > Why do you need to make is selectable via menuconfig? > Isn't it sufficient to add a "select QCOM_QMI_HELPERS" to that Kconfig? I have CONFIG_IPA dependent on CONFIG_QCOM_QMI_HELPERS. I could change that to select it instead but I still think this entry should be changed. I'll mention that SLIM_QCOM_NGD_CTRL in drivers/slimbus/Kconfig also depends on--rather than selects--QCOM_QMI_HELPERS. -Alex > > Kind regards, > Niklas > >> >> -Alex >> >> On 04/27/2018 09:03 AM, Alex Elder wrote: >>> Add a prompt to the "tristate" attribute in the Kconfig file in >>> which QCOM_QMI_HELPERS is defined; I find it doesn't get selected >>> without it. >>> >>> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> >>> --- >>> drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig | 2 +- >>> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >>> >>> diff --git a/drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig b/drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig >>> index 5c4535b545cc..81a501765cd9 100644 >>> --- a/drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig >>> +++ b/drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig >>> @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ config QCOM_PM >>> low power modes. >>> >>> config QCOM_QMI_HELPERS >>> - tristate >>> + tristate "Qualcomm QMI Helpers" >>> depends on ARCH_QCOM && NET >>> help >>> Helper library for handling QMI encoded messages.

I would have expected SLIM_QCOM_NGD_CTRL to select rather than depend. But then it is also weird that QCOM_QMI_HELPERS has a help text. I guess Bjorn should answer how this Kconfig was intended to be used, because right now it is kind of ambiguous.

I made it this way because I don't see a reason for anyone to ever select this config option if there isn't a client available - and clients that "depends on" this simply forces the developer to find the QMI helpers in menuconfig and enable it manually. > > Isn't it sufficient to add a "select QCOM_QMI_HELPERS" to that Kconfig? > > I have CONFIG_IPA dependent on CONFIG_QCOM_QMI_HELPERS.

I was thinking one of two changes: - Add the prompt string (which I suggested) - Don't add the prompt, but remove the help and/or add a comment to indicate that the lack of prompt is intentional (because it really looked like an oversight to me) I don't really care though; I'll change my code to select it rather than depend on it. > Why do you say it needs to change?
