From 944265347a81eadc3354731d5f739a6a4fdf6e7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2023 13:23:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kernel: expose (unhide) CONFIG_ASN1 as ksmbd requirement MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit OpenWrt provides kmod-asn1-decoder for CONFIG_ASN1 but selecting it doesn't really work as expected. Kernel symbol is hidden and can be actually selected only as a dependency. That works well for in-kernel stuff but fails for external modules requiring ASN1 like ksmbd. Modify kernel Kconfig to make CONFIG_ASN1 always selectable. It's required to satisfy ksmbd dependencies cleanly (without hack like selecting unrelated modules).
