powerpc/pseries: relocate "config DTL" so KConfig nests properly
I don't know what that means. Can you describe it in more detail?
So the "config DTL" refers to the configuration entry.
The "nests properly" refers to the indent that 'make menuconfig' shows
when a config-option that depends on the config-option proceeding it.
In this case, moving config DTL up so it is below config PPC_SPLPAR
means that menuconfig will show config DTL nicely indented right below
config PPC_SPLPAR when PPC_SPLPAR is enabled.
To contrast that, right now if I enable PPC_SPLPAR in menuconfig, all I
can immediately tell is that "something showed up further down the list
where I wasn't looking", and I end up having to toggle the option a few
times to figure out what showed up, or look at the KConfig to find out
that config DTL depends on config PPC_SPLPAR.
Essentially, this enables menuconfig to provide a visual hint about the
dependencies between options.
