    Subject[PATCH] Remove silentoldconfig from "make help"; fix kconfig/conf's help
    Date
    As explained by Michal Marek at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/31/189
    silentoldconfig has become a misnomer. It has become an internal
    interface and "oldconfig" is just as silent now. It's not part of the
    user interface so remove it from "make help" to stop confusing people
    trying to use it as seen for instance at
    https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/271688

    On the other hand, correct and expand its description in the help of
    scripts/kconfig/conf.c
