me too. and, as i've suggested before, it would also be cleaner to
remove the redundant "requires" and almost redundant "depends" from
Kconfig files, and standardize exclusively on "depends on".
at the moment, there are only five Kconfig files that use the far less
common "depends" directive:
./drivers/telephony/Kconfig: depends ISA || PCI
./drivers/leds/Kconfig: depends LEDS_CLASS && ARCH_H1940
./drivers/input/misc/Kconfig: depends EXPERIMENTAL
./arch/blackfin/Kconfig: depends BFIN_DMA_5XX
./arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig: depends PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE
adjust those and there's no reason to hang on to "depends" any longer.
