Kconfig generates include/generated/autoconf.h to make CONFIG options
available to the pre-processor. Symbols with the value 'm' are suffixed
with '_MODULE'
Here is a conflict; CONFIG_FOO=m results in '#define CONFIG_FOO_MODULE 1',
but CONFIG_FOO_MODULE=y also results in the same define.
Also, CONFIG options that end with '_MODULE' confuse the Kconfig/fixdep
interaction; fixdep always assumes CONFIG_FOO_MODULE comes from
CONFIG_FOO=m, so the dependency is not properly tracked for symbols
that end with '_MODULE'.
For these reasons, CONFIG options that end with '_MODULE' should be
avoided in general. (I am planning on adding a check in Kconfig.)
This is the only case in the current kernel.
The new option name was suggested by Péter Ujfalusi. [1]

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 Restructured Text 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.
