Subject: [PATCH 27/27] kconfig: do not imply the type of choice value

Do not feed back the choice type to choice values.

Each choice value should explicitly specify 'bool' or 'tristate',
as all the Kconfig files already do. If the type were missing,
"config symbol defined without type" would be shown.
