There's a possible simplification here:
All defined symbols, regardless of type, and regardless of whether
they're choice value symbols or not, always get written out if they have
non-n visibility. Therefore, the sym->visible != no check for
SYMBOL_WRITE can be moved to before the symbol type check, which gets
rid of two SYMBOL_WRITE assignments and makes it clear that the logic is
the same for all paths.
This is safe for symbols defined without a type (S_UNKNOWN) too, because
conf_write() skips those (plus they already generate a warning).
This matches how I do it in the tri_value() function in Kconfiglib:
https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/blob/master/kconfiglib.py#L2574.
SYMBOL_WRITE corresponds to _write_to_conf.
I've included a patch below. I tested it with the Kconfiglib test suite,
which verifies that the C implementation still generates the same
.config file for all defconfig files as well as for
all{no,yes,def}config, for all ARCHes.
(The Kconfiglib test suite runs scripts/kconfig/conf and compares its
output against it, which means it doubles as a regression test for the C
tools.)
