Due to the changes to the semantics of the imply keyword [1], which now will not force any config options to the implied configs any more. A module (FOO) that has a weak dependency on some other modules (BAR) is now broken if it was using imply to force dependency restrictions. e.g.: FOO needs BAR to be reachable, especially when FOO=y and BAR=m. Which might now introduce build/link errors. There are two options to solve this: 1. use IS_REACHABLE(BAR), everywhere BAR is referenced inside FOO. 2. in FOO's Kconfig add: depends on (BAR || !BAR) The first option is not desirable, and will leave the user confused when setting FOO=y and BAR=m, FOO will never reach BAR even though both are compiled. The 2nd one is the preferred approach, and will guarantee BAR is always reachable by FOO if both are compiled. But, (BAR || !BAR) is really confusing for those who don't really get how kconfig tristate arithmetics work. To solve this and hide this weird expression and to avoid repetition across the tree, we introduce new keyword "uses" to the Kconfig options family. uses BAR: Equivalent to: depends on symbol || !symbol Semantically it means, if FOO is enabled (y/m) and has the option: uses BAR, make sure it can reach/use BAR when possible. For example: if FOO=y and BAR=m, FOO will be forced to m.
