[PATCH 10/27] kconfig: remove grammatically ambiguous option_error

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Dec 11 2018 - 06:01:48 EST


This commit decreases 6 shift/reduce conflicts, and finally achieves
conflict-free parser.

Since Kconfig has no terminator for a config block, detecting the end
of config_stmt is not easy.

For example, there are two ways for handling the error in the following
code:

1 config FOO
2 =

[A] Print "unknown option" error, assuming the line 2 is a part of
config_option_list

[B] Print "invalid statement", assuming the line 1 is reduced into
a config_stmt by itself

Bison actually chooses [A] because it performs the shift rather than
the reduction where both are possible.

However, there is no reason to choose one over the other since the
code above can be written as follows:

1 config FOO
2
3 =

Remove the option_error, and let it fall back to [B].
