From efd9763d88d120010dd239397a94af92b8a694df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2019 20:04:08 +0900 Subject: module: move CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS to the sub-menu of MODULES When CONFIG_MODULES is disabled, CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS is pointless, thus it should be invisible. Instead of adding "depends on MODULES", I moved it to the sub-menu "Enable loadable module support", which is a better fit. I put it close to TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS because it depends on !UNUSED_SYMBOLS.
