Again, please describe things in the commit message, e.g.

  CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4 and CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV6 haven't existed since
  commit:

    a0ae2562c6c4 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove l3proto abstraction")

  ... so we can remove them from the arm64 defconfig.

With that:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

For the rest of this series, please update the commit messages to describe why
the cited commit means it's safe to drop the option.

Thanks,
Mark.
