[PATCH v3] Documentation/kbuild: Document the kconfig choice default value

[Robert Richter]

Document how choice defaults are determined:

Default of a choice is its first visible choice element unless it is
explicitly set by the 'default' property [1]. Choice elements do not
support default attributes. [2]
