Hi James,

Please help to review this patch.
When I analysis Kconfig files, I searched the keywork "source" and
then follow double quotations. The Kconfig in security is missing. That's because security/Kconfig source keyword didn't using double quotations.
Although that's may be not necessary. But I think the same as other
Kconfig files will be better.

Best regards,
Winton.Liu

Subject: [PATCH] Security Kconfig not common

Add dobule quotations in Kconfig source keyword. That makes Kconfig files the same as other Kconfig. It's more common.

The practice of quoting the source pathnames is usual, but far from universal. There are several examples in the arch and drivers directories. If you believe this is significant, see if the checkpatch maintainer is interested in adding a check.

Dear Casey,

Thank you for your explanations. Indeed that's now universal right now. That's the result I calculate (from the newest kenerl) :
Only 9 Kconfig doesn't contains quotations as belowing:
./arch/cris/arch-v32/Kconfig ./arch/cris/arch-v32/drivers/Kconfig ./security/integrity/Kconfig
./security/Kconfig
./drivers/crypto/Kconfig
./drivers/pps/Kconfig
./drivers/hwmon/Kconfig
./drivers/i2c/Kconfig
./drivers/w1/Kconfig
There are 967 Kconfig in kernel
There are 159 Kconfig containning source keyword

I hope that would be universal one day. Just 9, not so much.

Best regards,
Winton.Liu
