In general I agree that makes sense. In this case, though, the new
config symbol was introduced in the previous patch and split off an
existing symbol. Updating "all" of the configs (AKA just arm64) that
had the old symbol to also have the new symbol seems like the nice
thing to do and it feels like it makes sense to land in the same tree
that did the "split" just to cause the least confusion to anyone
affected.

In any case, if it's going to land in some other tree then I guess the
question is whether it needs to wait a few revisions to land there or
if it should land right away. Nobody would get a compile error if it
landed in a different tree right away since unknown config symbols are
silently ignored, but it feels a little weird to me.

...of course, I'm also OK just dropping the config patch. I personally
don't use the upstream "defconfig". It just seemed courteous to update
it for those who do.
