kconfig: silence warning when parsing auto.conf when a symbol has changed type
When a symbol changes type from tristate to bool, and was previously set to 'm', a subsequent silentoldconfig would warn about inconsistency, such as: include/config/auto.conf:3014:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE Seen by Linus with the merge in aa8032b (sequence to reproduce by Michal): git checkout 1fe0135 make mrproper make allmodconfig make silentoldconfig git checkout aa8032b make allmodconfig make silentoldconfig Since HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE changed from tristate to bool in aa8032b, it was previously set to 'm' in auto.conf by the first allmodconfig+silentoldconfig, but then was set to 'y' by the second allmodconfig. Then the second silentoldconfig prints the warning. The warning in this case is a spurious warning, which happens at the time kconfig tries to detect symbols that have changed, to touch the empty header files in include/config used for dependency-tracking by make. Silence the warning when we read the old auto.conf file, since it is perfectly legit that a symbol changed type since the previous call.
