Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: forbid multiple entries with the same symbol in a choice
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 20:57:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330115736.1559962-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)
Commit 6a859f1a19d1 ("powerpc: unify two CONFIG_POWERPC64_CPU entries
in the same choice block") removed the only occurrence of this tricky
use case.
Disallow this pattern in choice_check_sanity() and revert commit
4d46b5b623e0 ("kconfig: fix infinite loop in sym_calc_choice()").
