Hi.
Recently a check was added to if new ad-hoc CONFIG options where added and produced an error. The exact commit is [1].
While building (2016.11) with some out of tree files in include folder I get the following error:
Build error: | Error: You must add new CONFIG options using Kconfig | The following new ad-hoc CONFIG options were detected: | CONFIG_MENDER_H | | Please add these via Kconfig instead. Find a suitable Kconfig | file and add a 'config' or 'menuconfig' option.
As you can see above that this is not a new configuration option but a header guard. Probably not the best naming convention here, but still I wonder if the check_config.sh script should produce errors in cases like the one above? The common practice in u-boot is to use _H as part of a header guard name (as far as I can see at least) so maybe that should be added to the regexp in check_config.sh?
I'm indifferent. If you patch it and it looks clean, OK. But on the other hand, header guards should be _HEADER_PATH_AND_NAME_H_ (and I mildly wonder if checkpatch.pl catches this).
