2019-03-22lint/kconfig: More checks, more errorsJulius Werner
This patch changes a few more Kconfig linter warnings to errors that currently do not show up in the tree and that seem unlikely to become false positive in the future. One instance of duplicated code that essentially checks for the same thing was consolidated. It also adds a new test for references to boolean Kconfig options that do not use the CONFIG() wrapper macro. It's a little flaky (e.g. hard to handle multi-line comments), but it should be helpful the majority of the time as a warning in a Jenkins comment.

2017-06-07util/lint/kconfig_lint: update help checkingMartin Roth
- Turn the check for help text with no indentation from a warning to an error. - Show an error if the help text is at the same indentation level as the 'help' keyword.

2017-03-27util/lint: Show an error if a symbol is created in two choice blocksMartin Roth
Kconfig shows a warning about this, but we want to catch it earlier and halt the build.

2016-12-12lint/kconfig_lint: Make sure all symbols have a type definedMartin Roth
Show an error if a symbol does not have a defined type. This caused a problem of an undefined symbol in check_defaults, so we just skip those symbols there as we can't verify the default pattern without knowing the type.

2016-02-09kconfig_lint: demote 'always defined' errors to warningsMartin Roth
To be able to run this as a lint-stable test, demote these to warnings for now. After the current CONFIG_MAINBOARD_POWER_ON_AFTER_POWER_FAIL issues get fixed, these can be promoted again.

2016-02-09kconfig_lint: Check for IS_ENABLED used on symbols without CONFIG_Martin Roth
This looks at the coreboot codebase for the IS_ENABLED macro, and gives an error if there is a symbol used without the CONFIG_ prefix. This only works for symbols of type bool. A future check will be added for all symbols, but that will take a significant amount of time to run, because each symbol will need to be searched for individually.
