treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

staging: most: remove header include path to drivers/staging

2020-01-16T19:56:31+00:00

There is no need to add "ccflags-y += -I $(srctree)/drivers/staging"
just for including .

Use the #include "..." directive with the correct relative path.

staging: most: rename struct core_component

2019-12-17T12:50:04+00:00

The stuctures defined in the most.h header file will be exposed to the
kernel once the file is moved out of the staging area. That's why the name
is changed into something more descriptive.

staging: most: rename core.h to most.h

2019-12-17T12:50:03+00:00

This patch renames the core header file core.h to most.h. The intention
behind this is to have a meaningful name once this file is moved to the
/include/linux directory.

staging: most: block module removal while having active configfs items

2019-11-11T15:41:00+00:00

This patch avoids that core component modules are being unloaded
while the related configfs interface has active items in its directories.
It is needed to prevent the situation where the core module cannot
be unloaded anymore, because the reference count 'used by' indicates that
the module is still being used and the usage count cannot be decreased by
calling rmdir, as the configfs directory has already been removed.

staging: most: Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation

2019-07-22T05:34:09+00:00

The kfifo_alloc() failure generates enough information and doesn't need
to be accompanied by another error statement.
