Yes, that's the idea: only add Kconfig symbols that you are actually
going to use.

Completeness of what?

Anyhow, perhaps you can comment this stuff out if you want to have it in
the tree. See, these symbols will pop up each time that people run their
scripts to discover problems in the kconfig space. I suppose this was
probably not the first time these two were reported. And people not
aware of this thread might do that again, and again...

Thanks,
