I checked again by adding

config HAS_IOPORT
       def_bool n

in arch/s390/Kconfig and that doesn't seem to make a difference,
allyesconfig builds all the same. Also checked for CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT in
my .config and that isn't listed with or without the above addition.

I think this is because without a help text there is no "config
question" and thus nothing that allyesconfig would set to yes. I do
agree though that it's better to be explicit and add the above to those
Kconfigs that don't support HAS_IOPORT.
Thanks,
Niklas
