"make randconfig" calculates the probability of a tristate option (yes, mod, no) based on srand()/rand() and can be fed with a seed. At the last step of randconfig some option are chosen randomly and their tristate set based on similar mechanism. After this passage the resulting .config is not sanitized, hence it might result in an inconsistent set of options being selected. This was noticed on arm64 using KCONFIG_SEED=0x40C5E904. During randomize_choice_values() CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN is enabled. Since CONFIG_EFI was enabled at a previous step, and depends on !CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN the resulting .config is inconsistent. Fix the issue making sure that randconfig sanitizes the generated .config as a last step.
