This is just Kbuild changes, and it is there at linux-next for some time,
where for sure people already tried to do several different building tests.
Among some cosmetics, it removes a dead symbol (DVB_SIANO_SMS1XXX_SMS_IDS).

It is very bad to expose to the user a config option that configs nothing.

Anyway, Linus already merged the pull request. If you eventually find a bug on
it, please ping me for us to send a fix.

Cheers,
Mauro
