Hello All!

This RFC series is a proposal to cleanup the layout of the menuconfig UI. Although it looks to be pretty long (84 patches), it really is only three different changes :

- patches 1-6: re-order comments to fix indentation of sub-options; this can probably be applied without too much discussion, as it is really only a cleanup;

- patches 7-35: changes use of 'config'+'menu' into a 'menuconfig' (the Kconfig keywords) to automatically arrange the sub-options into sub-menus;

- patches 36-84: document that packages with 5 or more options should use sub-menus (with 'menuconfig') to store their sub-options (patches 36-39); it then changes a lot of packages accordingly (patches 40-84).

I reviewed and tested patches 7-39, you can add my

Thank you for the review. I know by experience that reviewing long series can be tedious, so: thanks!

You can now ack up to and including 58 (libiio).

Great! Thank you very much for having had another look! :-)

(I'll add your ACKs after fixing the little nits here and there you already commented on, like comments to drop...)

to the ones where I didn't have comments. I didn't bother adding Acks everywhere because it's anyway not going to be picked up by Patchwork.

Yep, I sent the series as an RFC, just to "feel the temperature of the water".

For actual submission, perhaps squash a little here and there. Although in fact
they're not really squashable, except perhaps 41-84 but that would be a pretty big patch.

Well, and what about my commit count? ;-]

But yeah, I don't think we could squash it, at least during the review. I think it is easier to review a lot of little patches rather than a bit one even if the changes are simple.

Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
