The string CONFIG_ quite often appears after other alphanumerics, meaning that that instance cannot be referencing a Kconfig symbol. Omitting these means make has fewer files to stat() when deciding what needs to be rebuilt - for a defconfig build, this seems to remove about 2% of the (wildcard ...) lines from the .o.cmd files.
