kconfig: silence warning when parsing auto.conf when a symbol has changed type
When a symbol changes type from tristate to bool, and was previously set to
'm', a subsequent silentoldconfig would warn about inconsistency, such as:
include/config/auto.conf:3014:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for
HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE
Seen by Linus with the merge in aa8032b (sequence to reproduce by Michal):
git checkout 1fe0135
make mrproper
make allmodconfig
make silentoldconfig
git checkout aa8032b
make allmodconfig
make silentoldconfig
Since HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE changed from tristate to bool in aa8032b, it was
previously set to 'm' in auto.conf by the first allmodconfig+silentoldconfig,
but then was set to 'y' by the second allmodconfig. Then the second
silentoldconfig prints the warning.
The warning in this case is a spurious warning, which happens at the time
kconfig tries to detect symbols that have changed, to touch the empty
header files in include/config used for dependency-tracking by make.
Silence the warning when we read the old auto.conf file, since it is
perfectly legit that a symbol changed type since the previous call.
