Actually, I'd prefer the other way around:
config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_SAME_AS_HEADERS
depends on !BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_SAME_AS_KERNEL
Because it makes more sense to have the headers be the same as the
running kernel, rather than have the kernel be the same as the one used
for the headers.
(logically, it is the same, but the first one means that the headers
derive from the running kernel, which is IMHO much more appropriate.)
