[PATCH] menuconfig: fix NULL pointer dereference when searching asymbol

From: Li Zefan
Date: Mon May 06 2013 - 22:41:50 EST


Searching PPC_EFIKA results segmentation fault, and it's because
get_symbol_prop() returns NULL.

In this case CONFIG_PPC_EFIKA is defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/
52xx/Kconfig, so it won't be parsed if ARCH!=PPC, but menuconfig
knows this symbol when it parses sound/soc/fsl/Kconfig:

config SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA
tristate "SoC AC97 Audio support for bbplan Efika and STAC9766"
depends on PPC_EFIKA

This bug was introduced by commit bcdedcc1afd6 ("menuconfig: print more
info for symbol without prompts").
