I'll be the 1st to admit the patch isn't rocket science, but I'm missing
why it warrants a blanket "ignore" status.  If we have dead code or a
disconnect between Kconfig and source, to me that seems worth fixing.

Not looking to start a debate; just hoping to understand what I missed.

Thanks,
Paul.
