Subject: [PATCH] x86: merge two CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM entries
Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2024 19:07:19 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240204100719.42574-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)
There are two menu entries for X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM, one for X86_32
and the other for X64_64.
These entries are nearly identical, with the only difference being
the platform list in the help message.
While I know this structure was intended by commit 8425091ff8af ("x86:
improve the help text of X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM"), IMHO there is no need to
duplicate the entire config entry. Instead, we can provide a little more
clarification in the help message.
