Improve the error messages and clean up redundant code. [1] remove redundant next_sym->name checks If 'next_sym' is a choice, the first 'if' block is executed. In the subsequent 'else if' blocks, 'next_sym" is not a choice, hence next_sym->name is not NULL. [2] remove redundant sym->name checks A choice is never selected or implied by anyone because it has no name (it is syntactically impossible). If it is, sym->name is not NULL. [3] Show the location of choice instead of "<choice>" "part of choice <choice>" does not convey useful information. Since a choice has no name, it is more informative to display the file name and line number. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
