Not a significant portion, but all, I'd say.

I'm fine with anything that doesn't add warnings just to appease pet peeves.

Well, if you could make empty help texts disappear somehow (either during the
Kconfig parse phase - which requires a jump into the yacc horror - or during
the rendering phase) that would be much better than adding a warning for
something that you yourself described as a pet peeve.

And after that's done you're free to send cleanup patches for this whenever
you feel like doing so.

Thanks,
