    netfilter: Make legacy configs user selectable
    
    This option makes legacy Netfilter Kconfig user selectable, giving users
    the option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.
LGTM, a few cosmetic nitpicks below.
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
    Make the following KConfig entries user selectable:
     * BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES_LEGACY
     * IP_NF_ARPTABLES
     * IP_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY
     * IP6_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY
