configs: cleanup obsolete or incorrect assignments

[PATCH 9/9] arm64: defconfig: remove obsolete assignment to SLIM_QCOM_CTRL

Posted by Vincent Mailhol (Arm) 2 weeks, 6 days ago

The Qcom Slimbus controller driver is not in the kernel tree
anymore. Clean-up the leftover reference to CONFIG_SLIM_QCOM_CTRL
which was left in the defconfig.

I even asked there to send it to qcom maintainers :/

Exactly that case also encouraged me to document this, since we do not
know how to fix get_maintainers. See commit

Best regards,

I will add that this was initially reported by Mikko.

I read the thread in which you posted that patch. Thanks for updating
the documentation, but as people anticipated, as long as the tool
doesn't do the right thing, there will be people like me who will mess
up the recipient list.

Anyway, sorry for that.


Yours sincerely,
Vincent Mailhol

No worries. I wished the tool was improved because I believe in the
toolset, not remembering thousand rules of different subsystems...
