I just mean that config option is removed from Kconfig file.
These checkpatch checks have nothing to do with
"CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y" lines that still live in many
defconfigs.

BTW, I can write quite simple script that will remove it from
defconfig as well and send to related maintainers in a
separate patch series, or alternatively you can do similar
thing proposed by you in RFC https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/16/725
