From 8c907785b8cc6dff2b9dda52e499715b0c64f377 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2023 08:22:20 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] arm: reword ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER prompt and help text Patch series "arch,mm: cleanup Kconfig entries for ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER", v3. Several architectures have ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER in their Kconfig and they all have wrong and misleading prompt and help text for this option. Besides, some define insane limits for possible values of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER, some carefully define ranges only for a subset of possible configurations, some make this option configurable by users for no good reason. This set updates the prompt and help text everywhere and does its best to update actual definitions of ranges where applicable. kbuild generated a bunch of false positives because it assigns -1 to ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER, hopefully this will be fixed soon. This patch (of 14): The prompt and help text of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are not even close to describe this configuration option. Update both to actually describe what this option does.
