I remember this change happening upstream, but there are quite a few
defconfig files that still have this included. They also include some
of the other symbols you've identified, like CONFIG_MTD_CHAR. Have
you sent patches upstream to remove these symbols from the arch
defconfigs as well?
One or two years ago I almost convinced Jiri Kosina to do a treewide
cleanup of defconfig files. But after Jiri saw my patch (or pull
request, actually) which I think touched 90% of defconfig files - ie,
hundreds of files - sanity prevailed and that plan was silently dropped.
If I do a Kconfig cleanup upstream I try to mention the related cruft in
defconfig files. Sometimes the maintainers want it removed too,
sometimes they don't.
