Masahiro Yamada 6900ae9eee kconfig: remove grammatically ambiguous "unexpected option" diagnostic
This commit decreases 15 shift/reduce conflicts.

The location of this error recovery is ambiguous.

For example, there are two ways to interpret the following code:

  1 config FOO
  2         bool "foo"

 [A] Both lines are reduced together into a config_stmt.

 [B] The only line 1 is reduced into a config_stmt, and the line 2
     matches to "option_name error T_EOL"

Of course, we expect [A], but [B] could be grammatically possible.

Kconfig has no terminator for a config block. So, we cannot detect its
end until we see a non-property keyword. People often insert a blank
line between two config blocks, but it is just a coding convention.
Blank lines are actually allowed anywhere in Kconfig files.

The real error is when a property keyword appears right after "endif",
"endchoice", "endmenu",  "source", "comment", or variable assignment.

Instead of fixing the grammatical ambiguity, I chose to simply remove
this error recovery.

The difference is

  unexpected option "bool"

... is turned into a more generic message:

  invalid statement

README

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.
