For the MFD_RK808 case particularly, I believe Kconfig showed MFD_RK8XX_I2C as a new option.I think there were some other unmet dependencies for MFD_RK8XX_I2C and I don't think the new config was shown. But even if it was, we still would have no idea that this meant "MFD_RK808 is not available anymore and the corresponding code won't get compiled". So the "this is not recognized anymore" is still needed and is quite helpful. Would you be OK with "list missing" being a warning (not a terminal condition)?
I am fine with implementing both. But, I'd like to implement them as separate options. (one option for warn unknown symbols, another for for turning warnings into errors) As I replied to Tomasz, I am considering about env variables vs command line options associated with W= option. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
