  Normally, when we make changes to the kconfig sources, we want to keep track 
of that with patches in support/kconfig/patches. This allows us to track 
upstream without loosing the modifications we make.

  However, in this case, upstream has already heavily modified those files, and 
fixed the issues. So we there's no need to keep it as patches.

  Therefore, applied to master, with an updated commit message that explains the 
above, thanks.

  Regards,
  Arnout
