Subject: lib/crc32: new Kconfig prompt without help text
Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2012 11:35:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120325113525.778eb2cd@stein> (raw)

Hi Darrick,

the new prompt "CRC32 implementation" doesn't have an own help text, only
its subsequent options have.  This is fine with a configurator like
xconfig.  But "make oldconfig" only shows help text at the choice itself,
not at the options:

$ make oldconfig
[...]
> CRC32/CRC32c functions (CRC32) [Y/?] y
>   CRC32 perform self test on init (CRC32_SELFTEST) [N/y/?] (NEW) 
>   CRC32 implementation
>   > 1. Slice by 8 bytes (CRC32_SLICEBY8) (NEW)
>     2. Slice by 4 bytes (CRC32_SLICEBY4) (NEW)
>     3. Sarwate's Algorithm (one byte at a time) (CRC32_SARWATE) (NEW)
>     4. Classic Algorithm (one bit at a time) (CRC32_BIT) (NEW)
>   choice[1-4]: ?
> 
> There is no help available for this option.
