Hi all, this is Yujie from 0-Day CI test service. Recently, we have enabled kismet
as a new static analysis tool in the test robot in collaboration with the maintainers
of kismet. This tool will check for unmet dependency bugs in Kconfig specifications
due to reverse dependencies overriding direct dependencies. Here are some examples
of reports we have sent out:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/70a880bb-2f7c-c997-113e-247cdd93269d@xxxxxxxxx/

Kismet is a component of Kmax Tool Suite hosted at https://github.com/paulgazz/kmax.
Thanks to the support from the main developers of this project and the feedback from
all the users. Any suggestions are welcomed to help us improve our test flow and
provide a better service.

Thanks.
