kconfig-language: improve menuconfig usage description
Improper menuconfig usage leads to empty menu entries. zconfdump() is able to reveal some real-life examples: - menuconfig VFIO_NOIOMMU - menuconfig RESET_CONTROLLER - menuconfig SND_ARM To avoid future occurrences of those, improve the menuconfig syntax description.

This is similar to the simple config entry above, but it also gives a
|
||||
hint to front ends, that all suboptions should be displayed as a
|
||||
separate list of options.
|
||||
separate list of options. To make sure all the suboptions will really
|
||||
show up under the menuconfig entry and not outside of it, every item
|
||||
from the <config options> list must depend on the menuconfig symbol.
|
||||
In practice, this is achieved by using one of the next two constructs:
|
||||
|
||||
(1):
|
||||
menuconfig M
|
||||
if M
|
||||
config C1
|
||||
config C2
|
||||
endif
|
||||
|
||||
(2):
|
||||
menuconfig M
|
||||
config C1
|
||||
depends on M
|
||||
config C2
|
||||
depends on M
|
||||
|
||||
In the following examples (3) and (4), C1 and C2 still have the M
|
||||
dependency, but will not appear under menuconfig M anymore, because
|
||||
of C0, which doesn't depend on M:
|
||||
|
||||
(3):
|
||||
menuconfig M
|
||||
config C0
|
||||
if M
|
||||
config C1
|
||||
config C2
|
||||
endif
|
||||
|
||||
(4):
|
||||
menuconfig M
|
||||
config C0
|
||||
config C1
|
||||
depends on M
|
||||
config C2
|
||||
depends on M
