kconfig: loop as long as we changed some symbols in randconfig
Because of choice-in-a-choice constructs, it can happen that not all
symbols are assigned a value during randconfig, leading in rare cases
to this situation:
---8<--- choice-in-choice.in
choice
bool "A/B/C"
config A
bool "A"
config B
bool "B"
if B
choice
bool "E/F"
config E
bool "E"
config F
bool "F"
endchoice
endif # B
config C
bool "C"
endchoice
---8<---
$ ./scripts/kconfig/conf --randconfig choice-in-choice.in
[--SNIP--]
$ ./scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig choice-in-choice.in </dev/null
[--SNIP--]
A/B/C
1. A (A)
> 2. B (B)
3. C (C)
choice[1-3]: 2
E/F
> 1. E (E) (NEW)
2. F (F) (NEW)
choice[1-2]: aborted!
Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update
configuration.
Fix this by looping in randconfig for as long as some symbol gets assigned
a value.
Note: this was spotted with the USB EHCI Debug Device Gadget (USB_G_DBGP),
which uses this choice-in-a-choice construct, and exhibits this problem.
The example above is just a stripped-down minimalist test-case.
