Thanks for this patch series. I believe you should
squash patch 4 into patch 1, as that is where it belongs
IMHO.

Also note that patch 2/3 will not do anything unless patch 4
is also applied setting CONFIG_FOO in a defconfig does not do
anything unless CONFIG_FOO is defined in Kconfig.

Regards,

Hans
