[PATCH] Documentation: kunit: Update Kconfig parts for KUNIT's module support - Linux-kselftest-mirror

12 Oct 2020

From: SeongJae Park sjpark@amazon.de
If 'CONFIG_KUNIT=m', letting kunit tests that do not support loadable
module build depends on 'KUNIT' instead of 'KUNIT=y' result in compile
errors.  This commit updates the document for this.
Fixes: 9fe124bf1b77 ("kunit: allow kunit to be loaded as a module")
