Re: linux-next: build warning after merge of the net-next tree

Hi all,

After merging the net-next tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) produced this warning:

*
* Restart config...
*
....

This is output by my "make allmodconfig" and only started after merging
the net-next tree today.  It has continued for further merges/builds.

I suspect commit

   1323061a018a ("net: phy: sfp: Add HWMON support for module sensors")

which added an "imply" clause.

I thought "imply" was better than "depends on HWMON || HWMON=n", but maybe
not. Is that a caveat when using "imply", and does it mean that "imply"
should better not be used ?
