It only indirectly relates in that we already know our kconfig semantics need work, and I do think that the underlying problem in this thread slowly strives towards addressing kconfig semantics for modules, associating one main kconfig symbol with one module. I have no evidence for this though. But since there are users who can gain from it, I don't see any issues from embracing it. > and > I am interested in associating symbols with a config symbol and then > ensuring that symbol is exercised.
