I just noticed this the other day and applied a patch for it in the
arm/defconfig
branch.

I only synchronized the 32-bit defconfig files in my tree, not the 64-bit
one. However, I can't really apply your patch 2/2 because you appear
to  mix refreshing the order of the options with changes that remove
options that are gone after a 'savedefconfig', risking that we miss
other bugs as well, as seen from your diffstat:

 1 file changed, 36 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-)

I have refreshed this one as well now, which on my tree gives me

 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-)

for a nonfunction change. I have left the other ones untouched
for the moment:

CONFIG_ARCH_BCMBCA=y
CONFIG_SECCOMP=y
CONFIG_QRTR=m
CONFIG_PINCTRL_MSM=y
CONFIG_SND_SOC_TEGRA210_OPE=m
CONFIG_MAILBOX=y
CONFIG_QCOM_ICC_BWMON=m
CONFIG_SLIMBUS=m
CONFIG_INTERCONNECT=y
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=y

These should be checked manually to find out why savedefconfig
no longer shows them, it could be either a bug (a new dependency,
renamed option, a driver randomly selects another subsystem, etc)
that we need to fix, or a harmless change (driver was removed,
option is now intended to be default-enabled, ...)

If you want to help more, can you check some or all of the above
and send patches to either re-enable the options or remove them
individually with explanations about why they are no longer
part of the savedefconfig output?
