Description
Code sometimes need to check if some kernel config options is enabled. For a lot of them, checking they are =y is actually stricter than necessary, but allowing =m means the check can succeed without the feature being actually available if the corresponding module was not loaded.
To alleviate that, we could have a Target.ensure_kconfig()
method that:
- Checks if the option =y and if so returns
- if =n or config does not exist at all, raises an exception
- if =m, tried to lsmod/modprobe the corresponding module and raises if that fails.
Unfortunately, there is no generic way of knowing the module name associated with a given kconfig, so the mapping has hard coded. However, we can have a maintenance script that finds a mapping for a given kernel source tree by looking for obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += the module.o anothermodule.o
and merge the result with the existing mapping in devlib.
