Yes. I will change it to "default" and this looks to be correct even from the definition in kconfig-language.txt. But I see other instances in mm/Kconfig, where bool and def_bool are used together. When I had tested this patch with def_bool, it worked as expected. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
