From: david.hunter.linux@...il.com

There are many instances of the second line of a config entry containing infomation about defaults. Here is a summary: 

def_bools found: 746
def_tristates found: 59
defaults found: 169

> Can you list some examples of where this happens?

I created a file that finds all the times that a default information is given in the line following a CONFIG entry is created. Here is a link for the output, which will show the file and the line numbers: 

https://github.com/dshunter107/linux-tools/blob/main/localmodconfig/defaults.output

If you would like to see the shell script I made to find the locations, you can view it at this link:
