Vivien, Thomas, All,

On 2015-03-05 12:55 -0500, Vivien Didelot spake thusly:
> Since BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE can either be a complete
> .config file or a defconfig file, it can be confusing to the user
> whether to choose BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_USE_DEFCONFIG or
> BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_USE_CUSTOM_CONFIG.
> 
> To avoid that confusion, clarify Kconfig entry messages for in-tree
> defconfig and custom (def)config files.

Acked-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>
