Since commit b724bd7d6349 (dm: Kconfig: Move CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
to Kconfig), the ".config" created by the configuration has been
wrong.
For example, the following is a snippet of the ".config" generated
by "make beaver_defconfig":
--------------->8-----------------
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
# CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is not set
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN=0x1800
# CONFIG_EXPERT is not set
---------------8<-----------------
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN is supposed to depend on CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F
(see the top level Kconfig), but the ".config" above is not actually
following that dependency.
This is caused by two mistakes of commit b724bd7d6349.
[1] Wrong default value of CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is a boolean option, but its default value is
set to 0x400.
[2] Missing "if SYS_MALLOC_F" in the default setting in each Kconfig
For example, arch/arm/cpu/armv7/tegra-common/Kconfig has the line
"default 0x1800" for SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN. It must be described as
"default 0x1800 if SYS_MALLOC_F" to follow the dependency.
Those two bugs together create such a broken ".config".
Unfortunately, even if we correct both [1] and [2], the value of
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN is not set as we expect.
The "default 0x1800 if SYS_MALLOC_F" would be simply ignored because
the "default 0x400" in the top level Kconfig is parsed first.
Notice that if multiple default lines appear for the same CONFIG,
the first one takes precedence.
This commit corrects [1] and [2] so as not to create a broken
.config file in any cases. Note that the default values in
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/tegra-common/Kconfig and arch/x86/Kconfig are not
working at this moment. This will be solved by the next commit.
The default value 0x400 is redundant for OMAP, Exynos, UniPhier, etc.
They can be simply removed.
There are still redundant "CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN=0x400" in many
defconfig files, but this commit is not touching them.
