From 6a1215888e23aa9fbc514086402f04708c84f454 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 01:41:04 +0900 Subject: kconfig: remove 'optional' property support The 'choice' statement is primarily used to exclusively select one option, but the 'optional' property allows all entries to be disabled. In the following example, both A and B can be disabled simultaneously: choice prompt "choose A, B, or nothing" optional config A bool "A" config B bool "B" endchoice You can achieve the equivalent outcome by other means. A common solution is to add another option to guard the choice block. In the following example, you can set ENABLE_A_B_CHOICE=n to disable the entire choice block: choice prompt "choose A or B" depends on ENABLE_A_B_CHOICE config A bool "A" config B bool "B" endchoice Another approach is to insert one more entry: choice prompt "choose A, B, or disable both" config A bool "A" config B bool "B" config DISABLE_A_AND_B bool "choose this to disable both A and B" endchoice Some real examples are DEBUG_INFO_NONE, INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE, LTO_NONE, etc. The 'optional' property is even more unnecessary for a tristate choice. Without the 'optional' property, you can disable A and B; you can set 'm' in the choice prompt, and disable A and B individually: choice prompt "choose one built-in or make them modular" config A tristate "A" config B tristate "B" endchoice In conclusion, the 'optional' property was unneeded.
