For next time: doing a re-format of the defconfig (to shuffle config
order), plus changes in the same patch, tends to be a bit fragile. For
cases like these, I'd recommend hand-pruning to just flip the one
option if needed, and then have Palmer or Andrew refresh the defconfig
during a merge window if needed (usually quite rare).
