"is" ? No, "depends" will control the visibility of this option.
You're quite right that it's expected that the option is visible if
DEBUG_UART_8250_SHIFT is greater than or equal to 2, and that's
actually exactly what we want to express here - and it's entirely
possible for someone to type in a shift greater than two, and that
would also be legal.
I guess if >= 2 doesn't work, what we need instead is:
depends on DEBUG_UART_8250_SHIFT != 0 &&
DEBUG_UART_8250_SHIFT != 1
which would have the same effect. I also guess that adding a
"range 0 31" or similar to the DEBUG_UART_8250_SHIFT option would
also be a good idea.
Patches to that effect welcome.
Thanks.
