Just skip the defconfig update in this patch -- if the Kconfig option
goes away then the build system will just ignore it even if it's in
the defconfig. Also, if you touch it here and remove it in the other
patch you might end up getting a conflict due to the file removal when
things go upstream, which is just extra churn.
