From 169dfd880ad3f301f60587b2e6145afd3edbbd59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:09:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "kconfig-language: add to hints" This reverts commit 64b81ed7fb1e45c914317b20316f32827bc6444b. As Martin says about this paragraph: However, I can not reproduce this. The attached file contains both cases. [...] AFAICS, both versions behave equivalently. I suggest changing the documentation accordingly. [in http://marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild&m=134987006202410&w=2] Reported-by: Martin Walch Cc: Martin Walch Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
