No worries, thanks for the patch.

So I *also* have a vague plan for this (but have not had time to
implement it). The short version of the plan is have a Python script
that walks the kernel Kconfig tree and compares it to our config
snippets to find configurations that no long exist in the kernel and at
the same time find the new configurations and drop them into the correct
arch directories with a default value and the help text. That way the
job of rebasing is also much easier.

How does that line up with your plan?
