The way kconfig currently works, you have to ensure that the
dependencies of what you select are fulfilled.
Yes Adrian's right. In the other places where we select CRYPTO
symbols, we always make sure that CRYPTO itself is selected. See
net/ipv4/Kconfig for example.
I would rather fix Kconfig. If we are selecting X_1 -- which explicitly
depends on X -- when Kconfig should automatically select X.
It is completely illogical to duplicate a dependency chain each time you
wish to select a symbol.
I asked about the first example of my last email:
What values of the variables A-E do you expect exactly if the user
turns on F?
If you expect this to work, which unambiguous solution do you propose
for this example?
If that information is missing, it should re-prompt the user, as it does
for a few other cases.
