+config MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS
+        bool "Allow loading of modules with missing namespace imports"
+        help
+          Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
+          a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
+          namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
+          There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
+          but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
+          users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
+          requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.
+
+          If unsure, say N.
