Subject: [PATCH v2] checkpatch: add several Kconfig default value tests
Date:   Thu, 4 Jul 2019 17:40:24 +0800
Message-ID: <20190704094024.16162-1-miles.chen@mediatek.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

This change adds 3 Kconfig default value tests:

1. discourage default n cases:
e.g.,
default n

2. discourage default "[ynm]" cases:
e.g.,
arch/powerpc/Kconfig:   default "y" if PPC_POWERNV
arch/powerpc/Kconfig:   default "y" if PPC_POWERNV
arch/powerpc/Kconfig:   default "n"
drivers/auxdisplay/Kconfig:     default "n"
drivers/crypto/Kconfig: default "m"
drivers/rapidio/devices/Kconfig:        default "n"

3. discourage default \!?EXPERT cases:
e.g.,
drivers/hid/Kconfig:    default !EXPERT

tested cases:
default m
default n if ALPHA_EV5 || ALPHA_EV56 || (ALPHA_EV4 && !ALPHA_LCA)
default y if ALPHA_QEMU
default n if PPC_POWERNV
default n
default EXPERT
default !EXPERT
default "m"
default "n"
default "y" if EXPERT
default "y" if PPC_POWERNV

test result:
WARNING: 'default n' is the default value, no need to write it explicitly.
+       default n

WARNING: Avoid default turn on kernel configs by default !?EXPERT
+       default EXPERT

WARNING: Avoid default turn on kernel configs by default !?EXPERT
+       default !EXPERT

WARNING: Use default [ynm] instead of default "[ynm]"
+       default "m"

WARNING: Use default [ynm] instead of default "[ynm]"
+       default "n"

WARNING: Use default [ynm] instead of default "[ynm]"
+       default "y" if EXPERT

WARNING: Use default [ynm] instead of default "[ynm]"
+       default "y" if PPC_POWERNV

Change since v1:
discourage default n$
discourage default "[ynm]"
discourage default \!?EXPERT
