CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT and CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_BSS in defconfig

Hello,
When reviewing my platform's defconfig, these two entries jumped out:
CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT=0x0
CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_BSS=0x0
I found it odd that they would appear in the defconfig, since I don't
care about them, and left them at their default value -- as most
platforms seem to do:
$ git grep CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT=0x0 arch/arm/configs | wc -l
83
# Compressed boot loader in ROM. Yes, we really want to ask about
# TEXT and BSS so we preserve their values in the config files.
config ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT
hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
default "0"
It seems 'make savedefconfig' doesn't consider 0 and 0x0 to be equivalent.
I can submit a patch changing the default from 0 to 0x0, i.e.
no functional change. The two entries would then disappear
from defconfigs.
Arnd didn't seem to like the idea. How do others feel?
Regards.
