From: Martin Walch <walch.mar...@web.de>

remove expr_eliminate_dups2(), expr_extract_eq_and(), expr_extract_eq_or(),
and expr_extract_eq() from scripts/kconfig/expr.[ch]

As the comments in the code state, expr_eliminate_dups2 applies these
two transformations:
(FOO || BAR) && (!FOO && !BAR) -> n
(FOO && BAR) || (!FOO || !BAR) -> y
At first glance, this may look like a good idea. On second thought, one
should verify all possible values for FOO and BAR, finally leading to the
assignment

FOO << 1
BAR << 1

which yields for both expressions the interpretation 1 (syntactically this
corresponds to an m) when applying the evaluation rules from
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt:

(FOO || BAR) && (!FOO && !BAR)
-> min(max(1, 1), min(2-1, 2-1)) = min(1, 1) = 1

(FOO && BAR) || (!FOO || !BAR)
-> max(min(1, 1), max(2-1, 2-1)) = max(1, 1) = 1

As n always evaluates to 0 and y to 2, this means that the transformation
does not preserve semantics, which I guess is not intended here.
In particular, the expression m && !m expands to
(m && MODULES) && !(m && MODULES), then to (m && MODULES) && (!m || !MODULES),
and finally in expr_eliminate_dups2 to n. I therefore think it is a bug
which should be fixed.

This patch should fix the problem by just removing the corresponding code.
Nothing should break: a quick check did not yield any expression in the
mainline kernel that the (bad) transformation currently applies to. Also,
as far as I understand the code, expr_eliminate_dups2 does not do anything
except those two transformations that are to be removed.

As a positive side effect, this reduces code size in expr.c by roughly 10%
and slightly improves startup time for all configuration frontends.
